Wine and Walk: Lighting the World

At the turn of the 20th century, Schenectady was a booming industrial power: the city that “Lights and Hauls the World.” This tour explores this period, the figures and factories that made it so dynamic. We’ll look beyond the nostalgia and seek differing perspectives on Schenectady’s halcyon days.

After the tour, stick around for a complimentary glass of wine at the SCHS Museum.
