If so, Staatsburgh State Historic Site can help! If you are a fan of the TV show, you will love touring the former country home of Ruth Livingston Mills and Ogden Mills. Staatsburgh will offer special Downton Abbey-themed house tours that explore the role of the mansion's servants and their interactions with their wealthy employers and houseguests. These special tours will be offered at 1pm on Saturday, April 6th, April 20th, May 4th, and May 18th. This tour will showcase the house, but it will also highlight the real life counterparts of the Downton Abbey characters, noting the specialized role each servant played and how the house functioned during a busy weekend of entertaining. It will also touch on the marriage between Beatrice Mills and the 8th Earl of Granard, part of period trend in which wealthy American girls—like Cora—wed titled gentlemen across the ocean. Site admission is $8 for adults, $6 for seniors; children 12 and younger are free.

Narrow gauge and ten miles long, it was completed in just three months and was touted as an engineering marvel. Marvelous, too, was W.J. Arkell, the cantankerous, opinionated, and witty Canajoharie millionaire who orchestrated the railroad's construction. It was his railroad that brought General Grant to Grant Cottage, and carried the General's body on the first part of its somber journey to its final resting place. Join local historian and Grant Cottage tour guide Steve Trimm as he talks about the railraod and W.J. Arkell, the eccentric and brilliant Gilded Age businessman who made the railraod a reality.

They were a diverse and unlikely lot, having nothing in common except their love for Ulysses S. Grant. The visitors included a former Confederate general, the director of a mental hospital, a businessman from Troy, NY, the ex-slave who had been the General's cook during the siege of Petersburg, a Medal of Honor winner, a reputed Mexican bandit, a representative of the Catholic Church who had once accused Grant of hating Catholics, and Mark Twain. Keeping a close eye on all of the guests was the General's body guard, Union veteran Sam Willet of Argyle, NY. Sam learned all he could about the General's guests and today, as we recall the General's funeral, he will share their stories with you. Sam Willett will be portrayed by Steve Trimm.

In peacteime, Mr. and Mrs. Grant frequently visited Saratoga to take in the races. Is is true that when he was President, Grant took a horse and buggy out for a spin and was pulled over for speeding?
