Join us throughout December for a shimmering, festive season. The Festival of Trees is a fundraiser for, and a partnership between, the Schenectady County Historical Society and the YWCA NorthEastern NY. Admission is $8 for adults 12+. Consider supporting these two community organizations by sponsoring a tree! Please visit www.schenectadyhistorical.org/festivals
