Learning more about the Empire State is something that, as New Yorkers, we find to be a fascinating past time. Down in the quaint city of Kingston, you can check out the Trolley Museum of New York where you can enjoy amazing trolley rides around the area’s waterfront and dive into history. Those who continue to travel north along the Hudson River though, you’ll find that Kingston isn’t the only city to offer wonderful trolley rides.
Settled back in 1614, New York State’s Capital of Albany is the definition of a historic gem and thanks to the Discover Albany Visitors Center, you can explore this city in a unique way.
