We had a wonderful day welcoming the Whitehall Central School District fourth graders to the Skenesborough Museum!
They explored our town’s rich history, asked great questions, and got a hands‑on look at how life along the canal shaped Whitehall. It’s always inspiring to see young learners connect with our local history! As it is a joy to teach our younger generations and preserve our local heritage! ⚓️🇺🇸📜
✨Thank you to the teachers and chaperones who made the trip possible!
We can’t wait to see you all again! 👋
