Regarding Garnsey House. The Nathan Garnsey House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012. The Garnseys were among the first families to settle in what became Clifton Park. The house is historically significant for its association with the early history of the town. It is rumored that one of Nathan's brothers was forced to flee after the Revolution because of loyalist sympathies.
