Putman Porch Music Returns to Yankee Hill Lock

Fort Hunter, NY – Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site is excited to announce another season of Putman Porch Music at Yankee Hill Lock.  The site will be hosting the weekly series on Thursdays from 6:30pm to 8:00pm at Yankee Hill Lock off Queen Anne Road, Amsterdam.   This series invites local musicians to come spend an evening on the historic Putman Canal Store porch to jam and enliven the vibe of the former Erie Canal stop off.

Musicians with an interest in American roots, bluegrass and folk music are encouraged to spend some time on the porch and be a part of a great shared experience.  Much like a group of canawlers that happen to be stuck waiting at the lock, a few instruments and strong voices is all that is needed to pass the time.

This family friendly program is free and open to the public.

Moderate to heavy rain, may cancel the program. For more information, please call the Visitor Center: 518-829-7516or email SchoharieCrossing@parks.ny.gov.
