The 275th anniversary gala will take place on Thursday, Oct. 15, at Zuppa Restaurant, 59 Main St., from 6 to 9 p.m.
Tickets are $125 per person.
The primary goal of this fundraising event is to make Sherwood House handicapped accessible.

It was built about 1740 by Thomas Sherwood on land leased from Frederick Philipse, and was purchased in 1801 by Yonkers’ first physician, Doctor John Ingersoll.
The Sherwood House Museum, at 340 Tuckahoe Road, is reopening for the season on Sunday, Sept. 13, at 1 p.m.
