The Stockade Egg Hunt
Found all the eggs you can at the Riverside Park egg hunt? Come to the Schenectady County Historical Society to find some "easter eggs" and hidden secrets in our exhibit scavenger hunt! You can also make tulip table decorations to celebrate spring and connect to New York's Dutch roots.
Cider & Moonshine at the Mabee Inn
We’ll warm up the tavern and show you how folks in the 18th century crafted the beverages that sustained their society. Our own Mabee Farm hard apple cider and some classic Mohawk valley moonshine are on the menu!
Family Spring Break Program: The Schenectady “Armory”
Participants will be able to touch and hold some of the weapons discussed during this program, and get a feel for what life on the frontier, farm, or battlefield was like in the 1700s and 1800s.
