In the year 1800, Schenectady was a small city in a new nation entering a new century. Old colonial traditions were giving way to new American traditions. In this tour, we’ll investigate how the Schenectady Stockade was transformed during the Early Republic period, looking at the buildings of the era, discussing stories, customs, and more. This tour complements our new exhibit, “A New Nation,” on display at the SCHS.
