History and mystery at Cherry Hill

Group of students outside Cherry Hill mansion

BKW seventh grade students participated in a field trip on May 19 to historic Cherry Hill, located in Albany. Students spent the day exploring the grounds and discussing five generations of an Albany family.

Along their guided tour of the premises, students worked with artifacts dating back to 1787. The students also used artifacts and evidence to solve the various mysteries surrounding the home, including the 1827 murder of John Whipple.
