Programs

Step back in time and discover the festive traditions of the 17th and 18th centuries! Join Schuyler Mansion and Crailo State Historic Sites at the New York State Museum for a special daytime program exploring Twelfth Night—the lively holiday that marked the close of the Christmas season in early New York. Through stories, music, and hands-on activities, families can learn how Dutch and English communities celebrated with feasting, music, games, and merriment. 

This free program offers a family-friendly introduction to the history behind Schuyler Mansion and Crailo’s annual evening Twelfth Night celebrations. Come enjoy holiday fun at the Museum, then plan to continue the festivities at the two state historic sites this January!
