Join us Saturday, September 17 at 10 amAs part of the Historians’ Walking Tour series, John Scherer, Clifton Park Town Historian, will lead a tour of Vischer Ferry, one of Saratoga County’s “Forgotten Crossroads.” The Tour will explore the Vischer Ferry Historic District, learning about its Greek Revival and Victorian homes, its heyday during the canal era, and it’s time as a summer resort at the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries.  Stories of some of the hamlet’s more interesting residents will be discussed. This walking tour will be about 1.5 miles round trip on level paved roads. The tour will begin at the parking area at the end of Ferry Drive, and end at noon at the Vischer Ferry General Store for those interested in lunch.  Our annual farm fest will also be happening that day as an added attraction. The suggested donation is $10 per registration.
