Old Fort Johnson, built in 1749, is the original limestone house built by one of the most important men of early New York, Sir. William Johnson.  It is located just west of Amsterdam, N.Y.

This magnificent historic landmark hosts a festive open house from Nov. 30 to December 1 this year.  It is a rare opportunity to see the inside of this historic home resplendent in its holiday finery.
