Walking Tour: Revolutionary Schenectady SOLD OUT

For modern Americans, the Revolutionary period is as celebrated as it is misunderstood. In 1776, Schenectady sat at the crossroads of clashing loyalties and passions. From forts to barracks and from patriots to loyalists, Schenectady had it all. Journey with us to Colonial America as we discuss how Schenectady fought for America's independence, and explore the conflicts that animated the founding of our nation. Included on the tour is a peek at the incredibly rare Liberty Flag, housed at the SCHS Museum! We have limited space due to social distancing. Tickets are $10, free for members, and must be purchased in advance at www.schenectadyhistorical.org/programs
