"Drums along the Mohawk" Overnight Bus Trip

Join us on our overnight upstate New York bus tour and travel back in time to the year 1777 and our American Revolution!

Our luxury coach, equipped with lavatory, microphone, and DVD, will take us to Albany and west to the Mohawk Valley. With our on-board guide for the two days, we will see approximately 12 eighteenth-century sites and have guided tours at approximately six of them. 

A Saturday highlight will be the 5 pm outdoor performance of "Drums along the Mohawk,” by Walter D. Edmonds. This vivid adaptation of the beloved historical novel tells the story of a newlywed couple thrust into the brutal conflict of the American Revolution during 1777. (Please pack a folding lawn chair, as chairs are not provided at the performance).

The tour stops have been hand-picked to enhance your "Drums along the Mohawk" experience: Benedict Arnold began his rescue of the endangered Mohawk Valley residents at the Van Schaick Mansion; we’ll also tour the elegant Georgian-style mansion home of the hero of the drama, General Nicholas Herkimer.

This is an "attraction dense" trip. Guests will bring their own bag lunch to eat Saturday during the hour-plus drive between Albany and Little Falls.

The tour is expected to sell out quickly; so don't delay! Limited to 28-40 participants, depending on room occupancy. Register as single or double occupancy. Information about prices and registration is at http://www.rocklandhistory.org/event.cfm?page=367.
