On Sunday, September 26, at 1 pm, the Rensselaer Land Trust will lead an outdoor program at the cemetery of the historical Stephentown Old Baptist Church on Calvin Cole Road. The church is no longer at this site, but the cemetery remains, containing graves dating to the early 1800s and many colorful epitaphs. The Stephentown Historical Society will show gravestone rubbings. Following the cemetery stroll there will be a short walk to Randall Brook and an extensive wetland. The owner of this property has protected it for future generations through a donated conservation easement to RLT.
For information and directions, call Doree Cox at 658-2643 or Francille Egbert at 674-3214.
