Things To Do, Places To Go...
Kateri Shrine
Her shrine includes a rustic chapel in an 18th-century Dutch barn and displays of artifacts from the only fully excavated Mohawk village of that era. Nearby flows the holy spring in which she was baptized. Many pilgrims claim cures after drawing its crystal clear water and praying through the intercession of Saint Kateri. (518) 853-3646
Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site
Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site is the only location where visitors can witness three of the major phases of the Erie Canal construction.

Old Fort Johnson
Sir William Johnson's 1749 homestead, Old Fort Johnson is a museum and more. Here visitors can steep themselves in the social, cultural, military and industrial past of the Mohawk Valley. And though the Old Fort has been the setting for many historical books, no fiction could be as interesting as the real story of Old Fort Johnson, presented and preserved here for all to enjoy.
