 The DeLong House
In 1868 Zopher DeLong, a Glens Falls hardware merchant, remodeled his
modest wood frame home on Glen Street to demonstrate his rising status
in the community, adding the brick façade and mansard roof seen by
visitors today.
Following Zopher’s death in 1901, his son John took
over the home and remodeled it again to reflect his desire for modern
tastes and conveniences.
Visitors to the museum today can learn about the
history of the Glens Falls area through an experience of the
DeLong’s
home furnished as it would have been a century ago. Guided tours
are available Tuesday - Saturday, 10:30 am to 4:00 pm.
