Many people love to decorate a pine wreath but often are unsure where to begin. Kelly Chapman of @gildeddoor will lead us through a workshop creating fresh pine wreaths with floral wire. Join us in making fragrant, one-of-a-kind seasonal wreaths to enliven your home during the holidays. All materials are included. Payment is required in advance and is non-refundable. This program will take place indoors and is limited to ten participants.
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. Guests will then be invited to warm themselves up with a tour of our historic structures. The Mabee tavern will be serving some tasty refreshments based on historic recipes and board games will be available for an evening of fun!
All Schenectady County Historical Society sites will be closed for Thanksgiving.
