When peace finally came, generations of Van Rensselaers enlarged the little fort into a mansion overlooking their 1,500-acre farm that sprawled along the east bank, sowing the seeds for the future Village of Greenbush and the City of Rensselaer. Derelict and shuttered by the late 1800s and finally taken over by New York State in the 1930s, Crailo State Historic Sitetoday a museum of Dutch colonial life in New Yorkstands as a rare victory of historic preservation.
