We love the Mohawk Valley!

If you love the outdoors, beautiful scenery, and lots going on, you’ve come to the right place. The Mohawk Valley Region, located along the Mohawk River in the ancestral lands of the Kanienʼkehá:ka’ (Mohawk) and Oneida, is nestled between the Catskills and the Adirondacks. People from all over the world flock to this area to explore the history, outdoors, architecture and the wonderful cities, towns and villages located throughout the six-county region.

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.
