Why Not Albany?

Where: The New York State Capital Building

When: Thursday, March 23, 2023

Cost: $49 for members and $54 for non members​

​

Sitting majestically atop Albany's State Street hill, the New York State Capital has served as the seat of government for New York since the 1880s.  The building is a marvel of late 19th century architectural grandeur, build by hand of solid masonry over a period of 32 years. Let's take a tour of this local attraction.

Lunch will be in one of the Capitol concourse cafes. Which one is yet to be determined but it will be order for youself while there.

After lunch we will return to the bus where a tour guide from the Dutch Apple Land Cruises will join our group. The guide will direct us on an hour tour of the sights of Albany and I think we will be surprised at the number of historic sites we are unaware of in Albany.  

After the City tour we will be dropped off at the Albany Institute of History and Art for a guided tour and some free time to explore.

Tentative Itinerary:  Leave the Senior Center at 8:00.  Arrive at the Capital at 9:00. Lunch on the concourse at 11:30. The City tour will be from 1:00 to 2:00.  Arrival at the Albany Institute of History and Art at 2:30. Leave for home about 4:30. Arrive home at 5:30.
