In celebration of the Erie Canal's 200th birthday, we're hosting The Erie Canal Project: New Choreography by Cecilia Whalen. This original dance piece is inspired by the movement of the canal, and features stylized modern movements and influences from Irish step dance. The piece will be performed by eight dancers, including former Martha Graham Dance Company members, a world champion Irish step dancer, and special guest Chris Thomas, Haudenosaunee Smoke Dancer. In its Schenectady iteration, The Erie Canal Project will feature an additional dancer, special guest Chris Thomas, Smoke Dancer of the Onondaga Haudenosaunee. The performance will take place in the beautiful and rustic Dutch Barn at the Mabee Farm. This Schenectady County based performance is sponsored by New York Folklore with support from an Arts and Culture Development Grant from the Schenectady County Legislature.

Tucked away in a quiet corner of scenic Glenville, sits the one-room Green Corners School House. This historic hidden gem was built in 1825 and served generations of students in rural Glenville until 1946. Recently and lovingly restored, the schoolhouse is now open only for special occasions. For this program, Glenville town historian Emily Spinner will join us to bring the memories of this schoolhouse to life. We'll also feature fun, family friendly activities for all ages.    This program meets at the Green Corners School at 2140 Potters Road in Glenville NY. Parking space is limited and tickets will be divided into two time slots 12pm-1pm and 1pm-2pm. THERE ARE NO BATHROOMS at this historic schoolhouse so plan accordingly.

Autumn is our favorite time of year at the Mabee Farm, and arguably the best.

Featuring family-friendly activities like pony rides, boat rides, crafts, and a petting zoo, along with live music, and local beer.
