Crossroads of Colonial Cultures
Johnson Hall was more than a home; it was a diplomatic center on the borderlands between the British Empire and the Six Nations of the Haudenosaunee. Built in 1763, this Georgian manor stands as a testament to the complex intersections of trade, diplomacy, and conflict in colonial New York.
Friends of Johnson Hall
Johnson Hall is preserved and maintained by New York State’s Historic Sites Program in the Office of Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation. The Friends of Johnson Hall nonprofit was created to support the state in our shared mission to preserve, restore and interpret the home of Sir William Johnson, “British Superintendent of Indian Affairs for the Northern Department of America.”
Support The Friends
The Friends of Johnson Hall raise funds and provide volunteer assistance for a wide range of activities that bring the Johnson era to life. This includes restoring decorative features original to the Hall, acquiring relevant Johnson materials, and underwriting lectures, concerts & programs related to 18th century life at the edge of colonial New York.
