Support the Ten Broeck Mansion Education Center. Dinner, History-inspired wine & cheese tasting, live music, silent auction & more.

Raise the roof!

Show your support for the Ten Broeck Mansion | Albany County Historical Association as we raise funds to "Raise the Roof" for our Education Center. Join us for the Premier Gala in our organization's history as we celebrate together 77 years of the Ten Broeck Mansion being open to present the rich & diverse history and culture of Albany County.

Our goal is to complete the fundraising for our new Education Center, built on the site and in the form of the former 18-19th c. historic carriage barn and greenhouse. This space allows us to serve the many children, family, seniors, and visitors from around the world who visit. Your support ensures we can welcome and educate our visitors and local families for many years to come.

We are excited to offer you a special dinner experience with history-inspired wine and cheese pairings, plus spirits tastings by theAlbany Distilling Co. included in your ticket. Enjoy live music in an elegant setting at Wolferts Roost Country Club.

Our second-to-none Silent Auction features charming Edwardian watercolors, fine antiques, gift certificates to local restaurants and more!

Your support allows the Ten Broeck Mansion to be a place to experience the richness of our region's history and culture, allowing us to grow so we may continue to serve. Please know the difference you make and how much your generous support is appreciated.

Let's raise the roof - together! Thank you.
