The Museum will be closed from November 25 until December 6 while we take down our current exhibition and install the Festival of Trees.

All SCHS sites, including Mabee Farm, the Museum, and the Library will be closed from November 28 through December 1 for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Our sponsor members, benefactor members, and donors are invited to an exclusive evening reception celebrating the opening of the Festival of Trees! We'll have great food from Wagon Train, wine, cheese, desserts, and of course the spectacular sneak-preview of glittering fir trees. Live music, too!

Stroll through the charming streets of Schenectady’s Stockade and dive into a day of holiday cheer, special treats, and unique shopping at all your favorite local spots!
