then tour the new press. Limited attendance, so be sure to register early. $15. #7. Troy’s Tiffany Treasures. Sept. 21. 1:30 pm, 3 hrs. One of our most popular tours of all time. Troy may very well have more Tiffany windows per square mile than any other city in the nation. We will briefly describe the life’s work of Louis Comfort Tiffany and then guide you on a walking and driving tour of the abundant Tiffany windows and interior designs in downtown Troy. This always sells out, so be sure to register early. $20. • As it is every year, our Tiffany Treasures tour is a Hudson River Valley Ramble event. For those who might want to enjoy a full day of Tiffany windows, Troy’s Oakwood Cemetery will also be hosting a Ramble event on the morning of this same day. Their tour will highlight the Tiffany and Armstrong windows in the opulent Earl Chapel and Crematorium, followed by a walk through this renowned garden cemetery. If you have never seen the grandeur of this building, you should not miss the opportunity. Call 1-800-556-6273 for details and reservations. (Please note that the Gateway does not take reservations for this Oakwood tour. Sorry, no Gateway discount.) #8. Chapman Stained Glass Studio. Sept. 25. 10:00 am, 1½ hrs. Did you know that there is a working glass studio in Albany that does high end new and restoration work? Limited attendance, and please wear sensible shoes. $15. #9. The Watervliet Arsenal Museum Machine Shop. Sept. 29 (Sunday). 1:00 pm, 2 hrs. If you’ve ever wondered what a 19th century belt driven machine shop looked and sounded like, come to see this incredible recreation. Led by our own master machinist Bob Rawls, this celebration of the Arsenal’s 200th anniversary will amaze you. $15.

OCTOBER

#10. The Brown’s Brewery Tour. Oct. 12. 10:00 am, 1 hr. The Brown’s Brewing Co. has expanded their brewing operation with a new facility in a converted 19th century mill in North Hoosick, in order to meet increased demand and an expanded regional market. Come see it. $15. Don’t forget to attend the Gateway’s Annual Gala. This is always a highlight of the year, and while we can’t disclose our Honoree yet, this year will be a blowout, with some really special treats. Call 518-274-5267 for further details.

NOVEMBER

#11. Origins of the Modern Horseshoe. Nov. 9. 2:00 pm, 2 hrs. One of our most enduringly popular tours. The modern machine made horseshoe was invented in South Troy, and the original and subsequent patents were awarded to Henry Burden. By the late 19c this historic site was producing nearly one million horseshoes a week, powered in part by the most powerful vertical water wheel in history and, in all probability, the model for the world’s first Ferris Wheel. Come and see this internationally significant spot and learn about the transition from blacksmith to farrier, including a demonstration of working models of Henry Burden’s horseshoe making machines. We will have on display the original 1835 Letters Patent for a horseshoe machine issued to Burden and personally signed by President Andrew Jackson. We will follow this session with an optional hike through the woods to the wheel site. $15.
