There is still time to register for the June 16 Women's History Tour! This walk along the Cemetery' old Middle Ridge and South Ridge will visit the graves of Revolutionary War poets, Quaker abolitionists, the first woman to be admitted to the New York State Bar, and more. It will start from the Chapel and is this year's
NYS Path Through History event.
Registration Information:
Because the walk will include hills and unpaved paths, attendees are asked to wear sensible shoes and bring bug spray. The tour will begin at the Chapel.
The tour is Saturday, June 16 at 10:30 am. Tickets are $15 and space is limited. Email albanyrural1@gmail.com or call the office a 518-463-7017 to register.
There are quite a few tours and events scheduled this year - a full calendar will be posted here soon. Also, restoration work continues at Cypress Pond.
