In Colonial America, punched tin was a favorite artform in rural homes used on lanterns, pie tins, cupboards, and more. In this workshop, we'll do it just as they did in the old days, using geometric patterns to update rustic designs & creating a modern piece worthy of display. This workshop will require a bit of elbow grease, but we promise the end result will be worth it!

SCHS is partnering with the Erie Canal Museum for this hourlong cycling tour through Schenectady looking at the city’s Erie Canal and brewing history, as you ride along the historic Mohawk River. The ride begins and ends at Druthers Brewing Company, where you will be treated to a beer as part of your ride as well as a brief history of the brewery itself. Register at eriecanalmuseum.org.

History, mystery long, forgotten graves, and unearthed relics are the stars of this 1-2 hour tour of Schenectady's oldest neighborhood!

Join us for a reception celebrating the opening of this exhibition. Light refreshments served.

The Stockade and its secrets come to life on this behind-the-scenes journey through the neighborhood.
