Weeksville Heritage Center was recently honored by the Upstate History Alliance/Museum Association of New York for their Green Weeksville program.  
Green Weeksville, one of Weeksville Heritage Center’s signature programs, utilizes 19th Century agricultural history to contextualize environmental education for students and the greater community.  This interactive program engages an intergenerational audience as caretakers of their community through the natural environment.
According to one of the reviewers for this award:

‘This is a wonderful program and an excellent example for the field.  Very creative!  The program incorporates both history and current issues, highlighting relevance today.’
