In Person Event

When wild strawberries ripen, they represent life and good health. They also herald the ripening of fresh fruits and the arrival of summer. Visitors of all ages will enjoy games and crafts, as well as traditional Native American stories with Education Director Darlene Kascak (Schaghticoke), while learning about the importance of giving thanks for the bounty of the Earth. Visit our Replicated Algonkian Village to learn about traditional gardening practices and indigenous lifeways in this area.
