Schoharie Valley Railroad Museum Hosts Program
On New York State's Second Railroad
Schoharie Valley Railroad Museum is pleased to announce a special presentation about the
Saratoga & Schenectady Railroad. Our speaker will be Mr. Dan Bradt, an instructor/teacher at
Schenectady County Community College. The talk will begin at 7 PM at our meeting house in the old
creamery building at 143 Depot Lane in the Village of Schoharie. There is no admission charge. The
Saratoga & Schenectady Railroad was the second railroad to be built in New York State beginning
its operations in 1832. Come learn about this history and how steam powered transportation
changed everything!
Schoharie Valley Railroad Museum is a non-profit entity of the Schoharie Colonial Heritage
Association. All donations go directly to support our Railroad Museum, Palatine House Museum, to
do repairs to buildings, improve and create new exhibits as well as present functions such as craft
shows, children's summer theater, our spring and fall antique shows and other special events.
