Saturday, October 22, OR Saturday, October 29, from 3:45 to 5:30 pm the Murder Mystery Tour of Cherry Hill, 5231⁄2 South Pearl Street, Albany, NY 12202. In 1827, a murder occurred at the Cherry Hill farm, home of the well-known Van Rensselaer family. The crime aroused tremendous public interest, and the subsequent trial culminated in the last public hanging in Albany. Although it appeared to be a crime of passion, it uncovered some simmering issues of the day including women's roles and legal rights, social class, punishment and the law, and slavery in New York. Hear the words of those involved in the crime and decide whom you think was guilty or innocent. Plan Your Visit: Please dress for the weather (rain or shine) and wear comfortable shoes. Inside the tour will take participants up and down two flights of stairs; outside the participants will walk over some uneven ground. Parking: Free parking is available in the small lot at the bottom of the driveway, as well as on both sides of South Pearl Street. Visitors who need to are welcome to park at the top of the driveway opposite the house, leaving space for emergency vehicles to drive through. Registration is limited to Retiree Council 10 members and one guest. Each tour will be limited to 12 people. Admission is $15. Make your check payable to Lauren Mastin, Historic Cherry Hill, and mail to Nancy Carpenter, 12 Benedict Street, Castleton, NY 12033, with the attached registration form by September 1.
