The Schenectady Historical Museum at 32 Washington Ave will be closed from October 31 - December 2 while we install a new painting storage system. We will reopen to the public on December 3 for the Festival of Trees!

Join us in making fragrant, one-of-a-kind seasonal wreaths to enliven your home during the holidays.

This program will take you “over the river and through the woods” on a journey back in time. We’ll begin with a candlelit walk through our nature trail with guides to provide orientation and share local tall tales

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.

This fun and easy craft allows you to create and customize your own adorable snowman ornament to take home. Hang on a tree or anywhere around the house.

Join City Historian and wine connoisseur Chris Leonard on a tasting and history tour of his favorite wines to make the season bright.
