Clermont State Historic Site
Meet at the Visitor Center, Free! Join us at Clermont State Historic Site for a guided landscape tour. On this tour we will look back through generations of the Livingston family and explore how their role as landowners shaped the land and local communities. From the questionable land purchases from Indigenous tribes to enslaved men and tenant farmers tilling the soil, to the Livingston's own gentleman farmers, the relationship with the land and those who worked it changed many times over the past 300 years. Please dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes. In the event of severe weather this tour will be postponed until April. Please note: This event is free of charge. Reservations are not required but appreciated.

Join us for Spring-inspired crafts and snacks in our newly renovated Visitors Center. For the kids, we have paint-your-own planters, paper flowers, and cute bunny crafts. For the grownups (or maybe even ambitious big kids) we have spring origami and mini canvas to create your own masterpiece! If the preplanned crafts aren't for you, you can make whatever you can imagine using our craft supplies. Light instruction is offered, creativity is encouraged. From internationally recognized Hudson River School painters to dedicated hobbyists who shared their love of the arts with their children, Clermont has always been home to creative people. We continue the tradition with Crafty Kids! Inspired by our past, Crafty Kids grew from a pandemic-era need for community arts programing. Through online tutorials and socially distanced events, dozens of children and their grownups we able to destress and create together during a time of uncertainty. We are excited to continue to offer arts programing to children and their grownups throughout the year, drawing inspiration from seasonal events and local history!
