Lansing Manor House

Built in 1819, the Lansing Manor House was built by John Lansing, Jr. for his daughter and son-in-law, Jacob Livingston Sutherland. John Lansing, Jr. represented New York as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention in 1787, and the state's Ratification Convention in 1788.

The manor house was restored by the New York Power Authority in 1977, and is filled with authentic furnishings from the first half of the 19th century. The house, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, is operated by the Power Authority in cooperation with the Schoharie County Historical Society.

The manor is adjacent to the Blenheim-Gilboa Visitors Center and Mine Kill State Park.
