Wine and Walk: Canal Days 200th Birthday
Wine and Walk: Canal Days 200th Birthday
It's the 200th birthday of the Erie Canal, and we're celebrating! With the completion of the Erie Canal in 1825, New York truly became the “Empire State.” Once a sleepy farming town with an important harbor, Schenectady experienced a dramatic transformation of its own during the canal era. Would the canal be a blessing, a blight, or perhaps both? After the tour, stick around for a complimentary glass of wine at the SCHS Museum. This tour meets and concludes at SCHS, 32 Washington Ave, Schenectady. All ticket sales are final. 2025 Wine and Walk Schedule: May 30 - Saving the Stockade June 6 - Beyond the Pines June 13 - Revolutionary Schenectady June 27 - Canal Days 200th Birthday July 18 - Scandalous Schenectady July 25- The Gilded Age August 1- Lighting the World August 8- Beyond the Pines August 15: The Gilded Age August 22- Sacred Spaces
