Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site
Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site, Erie Canal heritage site in Fort Hunter, New York.
The site spans 245 acres along the Mohawk River, containing structures from three different periods of Erie Canal development and preserved aqueduct ruins.
The site marks where the original Erie Canal construction passed through Fort Hunter in 1822, creating a critical waterway connection for commerce.
Native American settlement Tiononderoge existed at this location from 1710 to 1776, housing hundreds of Mohawk people near the water confluence.
The Visitor Center at 129 Schoharie Street opens from May through October, offering guided tours, educational programs, and interpretive exhibits.
Hurricane Irene flooding in 2011 uncovered original Fort Hunter remains, leading to archaeological discoveries that expanded the site's historical record.
