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."

Founded in 2006, Deutsch Photography is located in the heart of New York City. We believe every event has a story: a triumph, a celebration of a journey, a mission, a love story.
We photograph events from conventions to red carpet galas, industry events to company offsites, weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs and more. What doesn't vary is our editorial, story-driven approach. Part documentarian, part detective, we capture what makes each event unique -- compelling characters, engaging narrative, the plot, and the setting itself.

What types of events do you plan and produce? We'd love to work with you.
