Old-Fashioned Sunday

Old Fashioned Sunday is a festive fun day in a lovely setting at this 5 1/2 acre site. The historic house built between 1825 and 1830 will be open for touring. The day will feature music throughout the afternoon provided by bands from the Town of Colonie as well as music from the Tri-County Banjo Band! A number of attractions are planned including Old Tyme craft demonstrations such as a one-room schoolhouse costumed re-enactment, sheep-shearing, blacksmithing, tinsmithing and honey demonstration. Our Buhrmaster Barn will be filled with local vendors. Visit the beautiful gardens and other outbuildings such as the Tool Museum and Carriage House. For children, there will be pony rides, baby animals, a magician, an art show, face-painting, and a wizard. Kiwanis will be selling hamburgers, hot dogs, veggie-burgers, and soda, Emack & Bolio will have home-made ice cream, and Rotary will be selling popcorn. Friends of Pruyn House volunteers will man a well-stocked Harvest Table for baked goods. We will also have George’s Market, flowers by Fort Orange Garden Club, dried floral arrangements by Blue Creek Garden Club, and a caricaturist! We will host Story-Telling in the Pruyn House parlor and welcome many local not-for-profit organizations.
