Mohawk Valley Today Programs

Mohawk Valley Today is a regional hub where we support the residents, municipalities, farmers and producers, organizations, and visitors, by getting the word out about the history, programs, services, and events available throughout the Mohawk Valley region.

As a nonprofit corporation under Internal Revenue Code Section 501 (c)(3), Mohawk Valley Today looks for opportunities to share all that is happening in the communities scattered throughout the valley. Our goal is to share with Mohawk Valley residents, visitors and transplants the region’s

  • Communities and shared history,
  • Local events that have become integral to Mohawk Valley’s ongoing story,
  • Resources that highlight local safety, seasonal best practices, and recreational activities,
  • Thriving agricultural community and how we can all get access to farm-fresh produce while supporting our local farmers and producers.
Connect, Send & Share Program

This program highlights community topics such as placemaking, culture and economic development opportunities in the region’s towns, villages, and cities to positively impact tourism and economic growth. It offers everyone the opportunity to educate residents and visitors about ways to support our local art and agricultural communities, small businesses, and area nonprofits.

Community Events Program

This is a free calendar to educate residents
about events happening in all six counties of the Mohawk Valley. The goal of this event calendar
is to help get the word out about community events, nonprofit offerings, and seasonal programs.

Agriculture and Agrotourism Program

We work hard to increase awareness and visibility of local farms, agricultural programs and services, agritourism, and farm-to-table initiatives. We also prioritize local producers and food available direct to consumers to help provide fresh local food resources in the region.

Mohawk Valley History Program

The Mohawk Valley is uniquely historically relevant to the development of our nation, beginning with the struggle for independence through the development of the Erie Canal as the Gateway to the West. Our site at MohawkValleyMuseums.us is dedicated to preserving and sharing the history, museums, historic sites, historical societies, and culture of the region.

Recreation and Tourism Program

This program highlights the abundance of recreational opportunities available in the Mohawk Valley and along the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor, including the Erie Canalway Trail, and at state/national historic sites and parks.
