history

The Capital Region along with New York as a whole is so rich in national history. 3 local places are to be added to the historical register.

Someone took what was just an old barn - and by old I mean over 200 years old - and renovated it into an amazing looking, modern house.

The Capital District is full of all kinds of fun history, fun things, and even roadside attractions! It feels like it’s impossible to know everything there is about this area.  Recently, I crashed the Rensselaer County Historical Society for the Work Day Distraction, and it got me thinking about all the fun facts there are about Troy...

We all know the story of Atlantis, right? Well, New York may just have its own little version.

I don't know what I am expecting to see anymore when I turn my head to look at the old lot, Saratoga Winners is never coming back and I don't need to see where it was to remember bei
