Join us this season for workshops, walking tours, art, history, and more!
Our Sites
We own and operate three historic sites in Schenectady County – home to exhibitions, events, and programs.
-
Mabee Farm Historic Site
With its deep history and riverside beauty, it’s the perfect place to explore the Mohawk Valley.
-
Museum & Library
The Museum & Library is the perfect starting point for discovering the history of Schenectady County.
-
Brouwer House Creative
One of Schenectady's oldest homes, the Brouwer House is a vibrant centerpiece of Schenectady city culture.
Mabee Farm late opening
Due to all the events we have going on today, Mabee Farm will be closed until Earth Night begins at 4:30pm. Thanks for understanding.
Walking Tour: Stockade Sacred Spaces
Schenectady has long been home to peoples of many faiths. The various churches of the Schenectady Stockade stand out for their beauty and storied history. In this tour, we’ll explore these spaces and hear their stories from the people who keep them sacred today.
A Stockade Tea with Sylvie Briber
We're kicking off another great season of Stockade adventures with a very special springtime tea! Our good friend Sylvie Briber will be our host, as she shares some of her favorite tales from the neighborhood.
Earth Night 2024
Earth Night is an evening celebration of sustainability and living in harmony with the planet. Gather together with friends and neighbors as we present down-to-earth music, art, and workshops that honor Mother Earth and our natural surroundings. The fun starts at 4pm, and we’ll be on site until 8, finishing the evening with a campfire and stories from the Earth.
Museum and Library Closed for History Faire
The SCHS Museum and Library will be closed today. Our staff and volunteers are at the Schenectady County History Faire at Proctors. Find us there from 12pm-4pm.
