Explore the history of Delaware County’s dairy industry and celebrate National Ice Cream Month with Hanford Mills Museum! Visitors can enjoy free samples (while supplies last) of vanilla ice cream churned at the mill. Since we didn’t have enough ice to harvest, we are using ice blocks frozen and donated by SUNY Delhi Department of Hospitality Management.

Many vendors and exhibitors will be on-site for the festivities. The Delaware County Dairy Ambassadors will join us for the day. The Cornell Cooperative Extension of Schoharie & Otsego Counties will be on-site as well. Dragon Wagon Book Bus will be on-site with their mobile bookstore. Intelligent Green Solutions will be at Exploration Day to discuss solar power for homes and businesses.

Helen’s Little Kitchen Food Truck and The Farmer’s Wife will both be vending lunch and snacks, and Union Grove Distillery will be offering tastings of their products that will also be for sale. You are also welcome to bring your own lunch and snacks. This Exploration Day is a fun and dynamic way for all ages to learn about the dairy industry!
