WINTERGREEN, a folk trio, performs a mixture of traditional and contemporary music from the British Isles and America, along with their own compositions. 

Their programs feature instrumentals based on dance tunes, intricate three-part vocal harmonies, and a wide variety of folk instruments. 

Among other places, this trio has appeared at the Troy Music Hall, WNYT-TV Albany (NBC), Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs, NY, the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, MA, and has performed several concerts in Germany.

CALL FOR CHILDREN’S BOOKS!

This August, The Mount is hosting a Children’s Book Swap as part of our Community Day celebration! We’re collecting gently loved children’s books to share the joy of reading with other families in our community. If you have books your kids have outgrown, this is the perfect chance to give them a second life. All ages, reading levels, and languages are welcome!

Please drop off your gently loved books at The Mount anytime this summer. We will have a bin in the Stable, and books will also be accepted at the Ticket Booth and other Youth & Family Programs. 

Join us on August 10 for Community Day to explore the Children’s Book Swap and take home new favorites for your family to enjoy!
