Friends of Fort Crailo
Who We Are:
The Friends of Fort Crailo offer support to the Crailo State Historic Site in the form of monetary contributions, volunteer time, and by sponsoring programs, activities, research, and exhibits to educate the public about the site and early Dutch colonists.
Crailo Historic site, originally known as "Fort Crailo" stands on the east bank of the Hudson opposite Albany. It is close to the center of the old Van Rensselaer Manor lands that extended from the mouth of the Mohawk River to below Albany.
