Rensselaer County Historical Society

Fodor's Review:

The 19th-century Carr Building contains the historical society's offices as well as a research library that, through old photos, maps, diaries, and letters, documents Troy's development from the 1800s through the following century. Next door is the Hart-Cluett House, an 1827 Federal town house with a white marble exterior and period furnishings; tours are available by reservation.

  • Cost: $5
  • Open: Museum and library Tues.-Sat. noon-5
