About

The Crailo State Historic Site (also known as Fort Crailo and Yankee Doodle House) is a historic fortified brick manor house in Rensselaer, New York, which was built in 1707. The word Crailo is derived from kraaien bos (Dutch for "crow's woods") and refers to Kiliaen van Rensselaer's estate in Huizen, Holland, which is also named "Crailo". Fort Crailo is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
