Raise the roof II!

Show your support for the Ten Broeck Mansion | Albany County Historical Association as we raise funds to “Raise the Roof II” for our new Education Center. Join us for the Premier Gala of our organization’s history as we celebrate 76 years of the Ten Broeck Mansion being open to share the rich & diverse history and culture of Albany County.

Our goal is to complete the fundraising for our new Education Center, built on the site and in the form of the former 18-19th c. historic carriage barn and greenhouse. This space will allow us to serve the many children, family, seniors, and visitors from around the world who visit. Your support ensures we can welcome and educate our growing numbers of visitors and local families.

We are excited to offer you a special dinner experience with Taste of NY wine and cheese pairings from Adirondack Cheese Co. & Four Fat Fowl, plus tastings by the Albany Distilling Co., included in your ticket.

Join us at Wolferts Roost for an elegant gathering. Plus enjoy the silent auction featuring exclusive tickets, jewelry, antiques & more!
