ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — The historical Ten Broeck Mansion and its four acres will be closed until Saturday, June 29 as it recovers from damage caused by Thursday evening’s storms. A quick but powerful summer storm hit the Capital Region and caused downed trees throughout the area.
The storm caused tree loss and damage across the site, according to the Albany County Historical Association. The mansion was not damaged.
“We will be seeking emergency funding to assist us with a tree survey and site-wide erosion control program, as this is the second major storm with extensive damage within six months at our site,” ACHA Exec. Dir. Kathryn Kosto said. “Our visitors share that our gardens are the leading reason they visit our historic site, and we look forward to a site-wide erosion and tree stabilization program to help ensure the Ten Broeck Mansion will be enjoyed for generations to come.”
Mansion tours and the STEAM program, which takes place on Saturdays, have all been canceled.
