The New York State Historical Association's annual October Conference for Teachers is a professional development opportunity focused on current issues, topics, concerns, and practices in social studies education.
Each year the conference attracts several hundred educators to the campuses of Fenimore Art Museum and The Farmers' Museum during the picturesque autumn of the Leatherstocking Region.
