Saturday, August 28 ~ Re-Open House: An Anniversary Celebration
It's been ten years since Hurricane Irene roared through the Mohawk Valley, and we are inviting all of our friends to come celebrate what we have accomplished at Old Fort Johnson since then. Check out our new flood walls and beautifully restored gardens. The house will be open for tours and there will be lots of family-friendly activities, including free ice cream! Come join us for the day. Open 10:00-4:00 pm.
