We were delighted to host over 100 grade 6-12 students from Shenendehowa Central School District at the Ten Broeck Mansion. Together, we explored family stories, and the use of Dutch, English, French, and Mohawk in Albany County, and what family stories and traditions meant to them. Are you a teacher? We are glad to create a custom educational program for you and your students.

Our Elephant ears are out of this world! Did you know elephant ears (Colocasia), native to Asia, were introduced to Africa by 1500, and became North American garden favorites by the 1800s? This summer's heavy rains means they are the largest we've had here at Ten Broeck in recent memory. They are easy to grow, but plant after frost. Stop by our gardens and take a photo! #elephant #elephantears #Colocasia #gigantic #museumgarden
