Who we are.

A recent Facebook post inquiring where exactly the Palatine House was, gave me pause to contemplate what we have been posting about (our fun and sometimes arduous activities) and what we haven’t (our history, mission, location, etc.).  So I’ve created this blog to provide more information, while Alyson continues with the fun stuff!

Let’s start with a brief explanation of who we are, and go backward from there.  The Palatine House is operated by an amazing group of altruistic volunteers at Schoharie Colonial Heritage Assoc.   This past January they appointed me, Sue deBruijn, as the new Director of the 1743 Palatine House Museum.  My husband, Brian, immediately jumped on board as a volunteer (we’re a package deal), and Alyson was hired as our Docent.  Puppy, Cora, tags along and we now have “Team Palatine.”  On a cold, snowy day in March we all walked through the front door together and began what has truly become a journey of discovery.
