Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site Events

Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site highlights New York State’s rich and diverse Erie Canal history.

You need not be a history buff to enjoy the site, as we offer great opportunities for recreation and to explore the outdoors!

Schoharie Crossing is located at the strategic confluence of the Mohawk River and Schoharie Creek, where the Lower Castle Mohawk village and eighteenth-century Fort Hunter once stood. The location developed further in the nineteenth century with the construction and expansion of the Erie Canal.
