Join us for a hands-on experience where you'll learn to create personalized blends of soothing bath salts and aromatic tub teas, transforming your bath time into a luxurious and rejuvenating retreat.

Schenectady has long been home to peoples of many faiths. The various churches of the Schenectady Stockade stand out for their beauty and storied history. In this tour, we’ll explore these spaces and hear their stories from the people who keep them sacred today.

We're kicking off another great season of Stockade adventures with a very special springtime tea! Our good friend Sylvie Briber will be our host, as she shares some of her favorite tales from the neighborhood. 

Earth Night is an evening celebration of sustainability and living in harmony with the planet.
