STILLWATER BLOCKHOUSE VISITOR CENTER/MUSEUM

STILLWATER BLOCKHOUSE VISITOR CENTER/MUSEUM

Built in 1927, in part with timbers from Revolutionary War era structures, the blockhouse is a reconstruction of early 18th century blockhouses of the region. Today, the Stillwater Blockhouse stands in a small park on a notably scenic section of the Hudson River, and is dedicated to local history. Visitors can view the “loopholes” that allow shooting straight down upon the enemy, cannon and exhibits that highlight life and conflict in the 18th century.

 XO TOWER

XO TOWER

Several years ago the dream of restoring the Tower came alive when local residents and business owners teamed with the City of Mechanicville to shore up the building, refurbish the first floor and open the downstairs office as the home for the Mechanicville-Stillwater Area Chamber of Commerce.

Join the Chamber

The Chamber meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 9:30am in the Mechanicville District Public Library.

All members are encouraged to attend.
