Christman Bird and Wildlife Sanctuary is a national historic district located near Delanson, Schenectady County, New York. The district includes six contributing buildings and one contributing structure on a largely wooded, rural {{convert|105|acre|adj=on}} tract. It lies in the valley of the Bozenkill and includes a {{convert|30|ft|adj=on}} waterfall along the Helderberg Escarpment. Located on the property is a two-story frame dwelling built in 1868, a stone dairy house, barns, large stone walls, and an open lean-to built by the Mohawk Valley Hiking Club. The sanctuary had its beginnings in 1888 when property owner W.W. Christman (1865-1937) and his wife, the former Catherine Bradt, began a winter bird feeding program during the great blizzard of that year.{{cite web|url=http://www.oprhp.state.ny.us/hpimaging/hp_view.asp?GroupView=8277 |title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: Christman Bird and Wildlife Sanctuary|author=Paul R.
