The Skene Manor is a historic, Victorian-style mansion in Whitehall, New York, that dates back to 1874.
If you're in the area, it's worth exploring the grounds of this breath-taking mansion east of Lake George. It's currently not available for tours, but it's a fantastic landmark to see in-person.
It's also the perfect spot to hold special events; it's a common venue for parties, receptions and reunions. Once the mansion reopens after the pandemic, make sure to check out this one-of-a-kind tour. If you're planning to bring a large group for a tour, make sure to schedule your tour two weeks in advance.
