Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site is excited to announce the return of Museum Monday programs this winter. Each month the museum at the Visitor Center will be open from 11:00am to 1:00pm on a select Monday and a brief discussion on a relevant topic will be offered.
Decades before there was a Pine Ridge ski center in Salisbury or a Shu-maker Mountain ski area outside Little Falls, generations of Little Falls winter sports enthusiasts skied and sledded down the vertical drops that typify our steep, narrow Mohawk Valley topography. Others enjoyed skating on the frozen canal and ice rinks. Times were different in the age before television and computers provided time diversions and snowmobiles proved to be so popular.
These high-quality calendars make great stocking stuffers and are only $15 with all proceeds going to the Mayfield Historical Society for activities to promote and conserve our area’s history.
Support this historical society with a gift perfect for loved ones who may have moved away or the history buff in the family.
