Ice Cream Social & History Fair with Fulton County Historical Society

Last year, we combined two of our popular annual events - the Ice Cream Social and the History Fair - into one celebration to kick off the summer season at the museum. We loved it so much, we’re doing it again this year!
Join us at the museum on Friday, May 15th from 6-8pm for an evening of history and frozen treats. Tickets are $5 each or five for $20. Pre-sale tickets available!
The History Fair is a chance for local museums, historians, re-enactors, authors, and community organizations to share all the great work they’ve been doing.
The Ice Cream Social and History Fair isn’t only the kick-off to our summer tour season, but it’s one of the FCHS’ biggest fundraisers. In addition to helping support general operating costs that keep the doors open, the money raised during this event also assists with the upkeep of our historic 1900 school that houses the museum and educational and public programming. This includes presentations, exhibits, concerts, the Hands On History Series, in-classroom and distance learning, and more. Your support helps to make all this – and more – possible!
If you cannot attend this year’s Ice Cream Social, but would still like to support the FCHS and its work, please consider making a donation online at fultoncountyhistoricalsociety.org or by mailing a check to 237 Kingsboro Ave. Gloversville, NY 12078.
We hope to see you at the museum on May 15th!
