Thanks to everyone who joined us for the 2026 “Soup and Roll” bus tour of local cemeteries and the notable Revolutionary War veterans buried there. We couldn’t have asked for better weather.

Afterward, we enjoyed some amazing homemade soups at the Methodist Church's hall.

A special thank you to our volunteers, who planned the tour, made the soup, and kept it warm while we were on the road.

This program is supported by the New York State Education Department's America 250 Initiative, through a NY 250 Mini Grant administered by the Schoharie County Historical Society.

The scrapbooks were made by Esperance area residents and pasted into everything from an old accounts ledger to coloring books.

The bus WAS full!

But we've had a few last-minute cancellations, so there's still time to join us on Saturday, October 10, for our private bus trip to local cemeteries to learn about Revolutionary War veterans. Afterward, we'll enjoy home-cooked soups at Methodist Church Hall.

Registration is required. Check out our Facebook event page for details: Soup & Stroll: Guided Cemetery Tour of Local Revolutionary War Veterans
