Mohawk Valley history, arts and special events are happening at museums. Whether you’re visiting or call the valley home, explore the history, museums and historical societies throughout Upstate New York.
The Mohawk Valley is located in Upstate New York along the Mohawk River in the ancestral lands of the Kanienʼkehá:ka’ (Mohawk) and Oneida. We offer our deepest respect to Hodinöhsö:ni’ ancestors.
