GE Plot Neighborhood Walking Tour – Event Update

The GE Realty Plot Association is excited to present its upcoming Neighborhood Walking Tour, a unique living history experience that brings the stories of the GE Plot’s most notable residents to life.

During the tour, guests will visit several historic GE Plot homes, where actors in period costume will portray former residents and share their stories from the front porches of the homes in which they once lived. Through these engaging presentations, visitors will learn about the inventors, innovators, and community leaders whose contributions helped shape Schenectady, the nation, and the world.
