An article from last week's Rensselaer County Advertiser newspaper reads:
Fall Harvest & History Fair Returns
The Town of Nassau Historic Preservation Committee will present the annual Fall Harvest and History fair on Saturday, September 23rd, from 11am to 4pm at the Chandler Young VFW Post located at the corner of US Route 20 and Lyons Lake Road in Nassau. Reflecting Nassau's past and present agricultural heritage, the theme of the event will be "Family Life on the Farm" and "Nassau's One Room School Houses."
The free event will provide many children's activities including a colonial-era "Dames School", hands-on butter making, historical games and pumpkin painting.
Presentations include "Family Life on the Farm", given by Rensselaer County Historian, Kathy Sheehan at 11:30am and "The One Room School House" given by committee member and Nassau native Alice Goebel at 1pm.
With assistance from the Nassau Committee on Farming and Agriculture, local farmers will be on hand offering their harvest goods for sale. Additionally, community groups and historic organizations will have displays. There will be free food, refreshments and entertainment for all. Please join us!
