JEFFERSON — The Jefferson Historical Society is pleased to announce the return of History Day on Saturday, June 21, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Maple Museum (221 Creamery Street, Jefferson). This free event is open to the public and will feature tables and displays from historical societies across Schoharie, Delaware, and Otsego counties.
In addition to the main event, two other historic sites in Jefferson will also be open during these hours:
·Nicholas J. Juried Museum of Jefferson History, Judd Hall (163 Main Street)
·Fuller District One-Room Schoolhouse (695 North Harpersfield Road)
Following History Day, at 2:15 p.m., Shannon Finn of Danforth Farm will give a special presentation in the Maple Museum. She will share the history and techniques of butter-making in her family, which spans generations. Shannon's great-great-grandmother, Martha Danforth, produced award-winning butter in 1893, earning honors at the Columbian World Exposition in Chicago. The original rocking butter churn used by Martha is on display in the Judd Hall Museum. Today, Shannon continues the family legacy, producing premium butter from her Jersey herd under the Cowbella brand.
