Welcome 2010 Program Schedule
Programs at the Gerrit Smith Estate
Throughout the summer, the stewards of the Gerrit Smith Estate National Historic Landmark will be presenting a series of educational (and fun!) events to enhance your visit to the site. Some of the events have a small admission fee to help cover the operational expenses of the estate. All of our staff work as volunteers, but the electricity, heat, and paint do need to be paid for.
