Candlelight Walking Tours

In October, the Foundation partners with the Schenectady County Historical Society to offer guided walking tours in the Stockade Historic District. Tales of ghosts and macabre happenings woven together with local history make these tours sell out quickly! All proceeds support the preservation of Schenectady’s history and the Foundation’s preservation grants.
