  • I live in a Wing Family farmhouse settled in 1795 near Saratoga, NY and I have been very interested in Wing history since tracing my deed and meeting the granddaughter of the last Wing to live in our home. I was so glad to swing by on our way home from the Cape with my 8 year old son. Amazing artifacts and such a cool spot. The archaeologist guiding us today answered all my burning questions and my son was so curious about the objects he had never seen. This is a fantastic piece of history. So glad it still stands. Incredibly rich experience for a child or adult alike!
  • Our tour of this house was hosted by a staff member who was a professional archeologist and was a wealth of knowledge. He provided an insightful tour and answered all questions with an incredible level of detail. He tied the information related to the home and its occupants to not only the events in the area at the time, but the broader world. It was a fantastic tour. I can't recommend it enough, I definitely recommend.
