Museum Closed

The Schenectady Historical Museum at 32 Washington Ave will be closed November 13 - November 30 as we set up for the Festival of Trees.

Night of Lights

Come celebrate the beginning of the Festival of Trees with the Night of Lights, an exclusive evening of radiant fir trees and wintertide enchantment. Featuring live music, great food, and more!

Festival of Trees

Celebrate the season as we fill our galleries with lighted fir trees! Decorated from classic to kooky Christmas styles, the Festival of Trees glows with the enchantment of the holidays.
