Enjoy a fall evening by the glow of a roaring fire! Boscobel is inviting everyone to gather around a traditional bonfire for some old-fashioned, “kindled” fun.

New this year will be Stargazing with Boscobel’s Museum Educator, Lisa Dimarzo. If it is a clear night, Lisa will point out amazing autumn sky features to Bonfire guests, such as Polaris, Cassiopeia, Pegasus and Cygnus while also sharing stories, secrets and lore of the Hudson Valley’s starry nights. As a StarLab educator, Lisa has been teaching people, young & old, about the nighttime sky for 10+ years.
