Museum Closure Notice

NOTICE –

As all businesses, families and individuals have had to adapt in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Old Stone Fort Museum and Schoharie County Historical Society is no exception. Due to continuing social distancing requirements and county furloughs, all services and programming at the the Old Stone Fort are paused until further notice.

I encourage you to visit our webpage and follow us on Facebook to receive any announcements regarding future activities at the complex. We are looking forward to opening and sharing the history, culture and traditions of Schoharie County again soon.

In the meantime, please enjoy our two recently launched Facebook initiatives. It’s our way of staying in touch with you as we remain at home. Our “From the Collections” series showcases some of our most interesting items from our extensive holdings. In case you missed something or wish to revisit one, they can all be found on the website under virtual collections.

We would also like to hear from you! Please consider sharing a photograph and a brief synopsis of  something from your own collection in our #SchoharieCountyShowAndTell challenge. For more information on either of these initiatives please contact Erika Eklund at erika@theoldstonefort.org.

We remain grateful for your continuing support during this difficult time and hope, that if you are able, you might consider making a charitable contribution to help us offset the loss of income from the tours and gift shop sales we are unable to generate at this time.

Donations may be sent by check or credit card to: The Schoharie County Historical Society, 145 Fort Road, Schoharie, NY 12157 or by visiting the Donate Page on our website for a secure transaction via PayPal.

On behalf of the Schoharie County Historical Society’s staff, trustees and volunteers, we thank you for your continued generous support.

Please stay safe and we look forward to seeing you at the fort!
