About Fort Orange General Store

At Fort Orange General Store, you'll find beautiful, hand-picked home goods and gifts, with an emphasis on handmade quality and great design. We're proud to feature the work of up-and-coming designers, artists, and small companies from all over, and share them with our corner of the city.

If you're wondering about our name, "Fort Orange" was the original first permanent Dutch settlement in New Netherland, the present-day home of Albany, New York. We're fascinated by the history of Albany and the Hudson Valley, and our store is just two blocks from the site of the original fort!
