Museum Monday Programs at Schoharie Crossing
Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site is excited to host the 2025 series of “Museum Mondays” over the winter to give insights into objects in our Pathway to Empire exhibit. These informal presentations will discuss a range of topics directly connected to artifacts on display and the history of the historic site. The Visitor Center doors will be open on the first Monday of each month, from 11am to 1pm. The themed discussion within the museum will begin at 11:30am.
To begin the program series, staff will offer a lively look at technology for National Technology Day on Monday, January 6th. Staff will deliver a brief discussion on some of the objects and images throughout the exhibit that help demonstrate the ways new and old technologies were used to create the Erie Canal.
On Monday, February 3rd we will explore the history of Queen Anne and Fort Hunter. Staff will discuss the British Queen, the chapel she created in the Mohawk Valley, and the legacy felt today. Exhibit panels and objects in the exhibit collection will be available for viewing.
For our Monday, March 3rd program we celebrate DeWitt Clinton’s birthday. Born on March 2, 1769, Clinton was a passionate canal advocate and when he became Governor of New York, began the process of building the grand canal. Staff will discuss aspects of Clinton’s life and we’ll take a look at his portrait on display, comparing to some others created during his lifetime.
These programs are free and open to the public. Questions are encouraged. This is not a formal presentation or lecture, and the idea is to move about to explore the exhibit and discover more about each theme topic. For more information, please call David at the Visitor Center: (518) 829-7516 or email SchoharieCrossing@parks.ny.gov.
