SCHOHARIE — Living history demonstrations will be given throughout the day on Saturday, Oct. 4, during the 3rd Annual Fall Festival at the Old Stone Fort Museum.

Built as a Dutch Reformed church in 1772, the Old Stone Fort was enclosed by a log stockade during the Revolutionary War. In 1780, about 800 loyalists and Native Americans attacked the fort before heading north.

The festival blends history with food, drink, and music.

Northern Borne will perform from 10 a.m. till 1 p.m.; Hilltown Ramblers from 1 to 4 p.m., and Black Mountain Symphony from 4 till 7 p.m.

Food offerings include Cousins Maine Lobster and Sass Squash while adult beverages will be served by Serious Brewing, Dugan Hill Farm, and Helderberg Meadworks.

A quilt exhibition, “250 Years of Quilts and the Stories They Tell,” presented by the Peaceable Day Quilt Guild and the Schoharie Valley Piecemakers Quilt Guild, will be displayed across the museum campus.

A large variety of local craft vendors will offer unique handmade items.

Proceeds from the event benefit the Schoharie County Historical Society, which preserves the county’s history.
