Description

Join us for an interpretive walk around Cherry Hill's historic gardens and grounds as part of #518Pollinators Week. Come see what’s in bloom (and what's pollinating) in Historic Cherry Hill’s gardens! Wear comfortable shoes for this casual interpretive walk-- the grounds are small but uneven and hilly. Advanced registration is encouraged for this free event, but walk-ins are welcome. Donations are always appreciated: https://www.historiccherryhill.org/donate/ Historic Cherry Hill tells a story of America through the lives and experiences of five generations of an Albany, New York, household. One of the Capital Region's most recognizable landmarks, the "Yellow House on the Hill" was built in 1787 for Philip and Maria Van Rensselaer and lived in for almost two centuries by extended family, enslaved people, descendants, and servants—who left artifacts, documents, and stories behind.
