This year, 2023, marks the 175th anniversary of the Town of Schuyler Falls as a township. The New York State legislature, on April 4, 1848, ‘erected’ the town as separate from the town of Plattsburgh. Parts of the town were settled much earlier – by 1794 on the Salmon River, and by the early 1800’s all along the Saranac River and the areas nearby.

To celebrate this milestone, many events are being planned throughout this anniversary year. From Friday August 11 through Sunday August 20, will be a big part of the commemoration, with a parade on Saturday August 12, festival at the town hall and parks, presentations, demonstrations, and ceremonies. A commemorative booklet is planned with history, business listings and more.

Details & planning meetings are being scheduled for mid-late March. Volunteers and ideas are needed. To participate, contribute or assist, email the town historian’s office at historian@schuylerfallsny.com or leave a message at 518-563-1129, x 8 or x1-4547.

The Town of Schuyler Falls would like to let the community know that open skating is available for free on a town sponsored rink setup at River Street Park in Morrisonville. This year was a long fight to complete the setup of the rink as the weather failed to cooperate until recently. Skating is allowed every day between the hours of 8am and 10pm until the spring melt! The town has even made sure the rink is well illuminated for after dark skating.

Rules:

1. Please do not park in front of the rink except to unload gear.
2. Please remove anything you bring in including garbage as there are no grounds workers to empty trash cans.
3. Please use the wooden boxed area for entry into the rink. This prevents the liner from being damaged during entry and exit from the rink.
