Land surveying was a crucial component in the development of our area, and James Frost was one of the primary surveyors in Schenectady, Albany, and Montgomery counties in the early 1800s, particularly in the Duanesburg area. The James Frost Papers, a collection in the SCHS library, comprises copies of survey sketches, maps, leases, receipts, legal documents, and other materials related to Frost’s surveyor work. On this livestream, Librarian Marietta Carr will share examples from the Frost collection, discuss Frost's work as a surveyor, and give insight into the collection's potential value to genealogists and local historians.

Each twilight at Mabee Farm brings a different array of lights and colors, as the warmth of the sunset transforms into deep blue, moon-lit skies. We imagine the Mabee family found this time of day as inspiring and ethereal as we do. So, join us as we explore Mabee Farm as it's meant to be explored; awash in changing colors, the wind gusting outside, and the flickering lights of the Mabee house keeping us cozy and warm. A costumed guide from the 1600s will lead us through the house, which is decorated for the season. He'll delve into the histories and mysteries of the Mabee Farm, and give us a taste of what life for was like for settlers living on the edge of the wilderness. Admission is $10 (free for members), and tickets can be purchased at www.schenectadyhistorical.org/programs. Advance registration is required. Available Dates: Friday, November 13 at 4pm Saturday, November 14 at 4pm Friday, November 20 at 4pm Saturday, November 21 at 4pm Friday, December 4 at 4pm |
