Stockade Historic District - Schenectady’s Stockade, a thriving residential community, has occupied this site for 300 years! Originally founded by the Dutch in 1661, it was destroyed during the 1690 Indian-French massacre. The Dutch rebuilt and, today, it is still a thriving community. Many of the homes, here, date from the early 1700s. Of course, new homes were continually added so, now, the community sports a variety of homes dating all the way up through the 19th Century.
  Historic markers indicate construction dates and identity of the early owners. We recommend you stop by the Chamber’s Visitors' Center (see above) and get a copy of the Stockade Self-Guided Tour. Then take a self-guided tour. Here you'll see an exceptional collection of Dutch, Federal, Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, and Victorian residential architecture.
  If you are in the area in September, they have an annual 'Walkabout' - this is a guided Stockade house and garden tour.
  For more information phone 1-800-962-8007 (toll free) or visit their web site: Stockade.  
  From the Visitors' Center drive 2 more blocks up Erie Boulevard to Union Street.
