Stone Fort Day Returns Saturday, October 2, 2021
Stone Fort Day 2021
As the crisp, color-filled days of October settle over the Schoharie Valley, a long-cherished Schoharie County tradition will return with Stone Fort Day 2021, inviting guests to take a unique step back in time and experience what life was like in the 18th century, both on the home front and on the Revolutionary front lines. Stone Fort Day 2021 will take place on Saturday, October 2 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Old Stone Fort Museum in Schoharie, NY.
The Schoharie County Historical Society, in partnership with the Valley History Alliance/BVMA, will present a full day of living history demonstrations, hands-on activities, performances, and a glimpse into the military camps of Continental, militia, British regular, and loyalist soldiers.
Just a sampling of the offerings on hand will include programs and demonstrations focused on farming, the domestic arts, beer brewing, Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) lore and traditions, quill writing, 18th century toys and games, and much more.
A returning favorite in 2021 will be the Colonial Cookie Sale featuring delicious “home”-baked Joe Frogger Molasses Coolies, Chocolate Jumbles, and Shortbread Petticoat Tails cookies run by the Schoharie Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution.
Stone Fort Day 2021 will take place outdoors in the picturesque Schoharie Valley. Event dates and times are subject to change. Please follow the Old Stone Fort on Facebook for updates and schedules as we get closer to the date or call (518) 295-7192 for more information.
Admission is by donation.
