    A milestone birthday like 75 or 80 doesn’t mean slowing down anymore; local seniors find there are so many great ways to stay involved and keep active. From field trips to social gatherings and educational workshops, northern Westchester offers a variety of programming to keep those over 60 engaged, informed, and entertained.

    Earlier this year, Katonah Museum of Art started offering Senior Socials on the third Friday of each month. The popular program kicks off at the museum at 1 pm and includes a docent-led tour, featuring in-depth information about exhibitions, artists, and ideas, followed by coffee and treats. Senior citizen discounts are available, and the museum is equipped with loaner wheelchairs and portable stools for those who need a little extra support.
