Mabee Farm Historic Site
Repère historique
"The oldest farm in the Mohawk Valley (1705), Mabee Farm Historic Site offers visitors today vibrant educational and recreational opportunities.
Over 10,000 people come to Mabee Farm each year. With its deep family history (the Mabees lived here for nearly three centuries!) and riverside beauty, it’s the perfect place to explore Mohawk Valley heritage.
Walk across weathered pine floors in the home of settlers Jan and Annetje. Say hello to our resident goat and sheep. Ogle the hand-pegged Dutch Barn (1760s) or just meander through our orchards, gardens, and forest trails. Tied to the dock or parked behind the Dutch Barn sit our reproduction 18th century bateaux, the De Sagar and the Bobbie G, giving visitors an idea of how goods were shipped up and down the river.
With the opening of the George E. Franchere Educational Center in 2011, Mabee Farm is now also home year-round to interactive exhibitions, lecture series, workshops, and school programs plus extensive historical and archaeological collections."

Jake Of Spades
Multi-city
Hey there, I'm Jake Schwartz. It's great to meet you! I performed my first magic shows at 2 years old, making my food “disappear” for my parents 3 times per day. I quickly became interested and then obsessed with the moments a magic trick could create.
However, not everyone enjoys being “FOOLED” over and over by a kid, so I stopped telling people I was a magician altogether.
Growing up I hid my passion from everyone until I learned how to tell STORIES through my magic.
Suddenly, people weren’t made to be the FOOL, they were PART of a STORY.
Rather than a challenge of “bet you can’t figure this out," I found I could bring people together through personable, engaging, and entertaining magic stories.
Now, the mission for every show is "Come Together, Be Amazed, and Change The Game."
Jake Schwartz is a professional magician who has won international awards, appeared on television over 65 times, and is best known for performing in 3 World Tours with the most viral sports team on the planet as The Savannah Bananas’ Magician First Base Coach.
Jake has been called “The New Face Of Magic” by media outlets across the globe because of his hyper-personable, highly engaging, and high-energy style of magic. Jake has performed for fortune-500 companies, World-Series Champions, A-list celebrities, and for sold out MLB stadiums and hit TV shows.
