Those Who Served: The Enslaved and Paid Servants of Clermont
Feb 21, 2026 2:00 PM Location: 1 Clermont Ave, Germantown, NY 12526 Phone: 518.537.4240
Over the course of three centuries, hundreds of people worked at Clermont to keep the Livingston family comfortable. For nearly 100 years, the mansion was run by a mostly enslaved staff. By the 1830s, this staff was completely replaced by paid labor. Though many of their stories were lost, recent research has revealed new details about those who worked for the Livingston family. Join us as we uncover some of the stories of those who served.
