Sir William (William Johnson) was an influential landowners whose prestige and leadership reached over into England. In February 1763, this homestead was designed to incorporate his position and ideals. A Georgian house of wood made to look like stone, Johnson Hall became the nucleus of a working estate designed to encourage settlement and further Johnson's control of his lands. A mill, blacksmith shop, Indian store, barns and other necessary buildings were added, as well as housing for servants. The site is available for touring mid-May through October.
