An interactive display of a historical weather station featuring predominantly 19th century antique and replica weather instruments assembled by the Farmscape Ecology Program. The event will offer a chance to try out these early weather instruments, some of which were made or used locally and are still functional. It will also provide an opportunity to explore seasonal and meteorological records made by a 19th century New York network of observers, including in Kinderhook, and discover how these records are helping to provide a window into how weather and climate have changed since Martin Van Buren’s time.
