On Sunday, June 14th, Site Manager Geoff Benton will be speaking at St. Paul's and Trinity Parish. After that, educators from Clermont will present 18th Century Games at the Tivoli Library. Join us for a fun and history filled day!

There's only one way to commemorate our 250th at this point in time - we celebrate with a respectful day of honor and intrigue. Plus light treats and music! And a moment of reflection we could all use - a reading of The Declaration of Independence, brought to life by three actors from Tangent Theatre Company. Join the village and many other special guests for a FLAG DAY celebration on Sunday, June 14th. ❤️🤍💙

250 Years Ago Today: A major debate arises in congress about 3,750 men to be drafted from the militia of New York. Some parties are still attached to Canada, however the realists understand that New York City is the next target. Livingston argues to a compromise. 3,000 troops were to be drafted to serev in New York. 750 would be sent to the North. Livingston hoped most of those would be drawn from the Green Mountain Boys. He hopes most of the rest of the body will be drawn from New York City where he assumes many people are unemployed.
