THINGS TO DO

The New York State Museum is a center of art, science, and history dedicated to exploring the human and natural history of the state. Established in 1836, it is the oldest and largest state museum in the country. From its beginning, the Museum has been home to some of the nation’s leading scientists, including the founders of American paleontology, ethnology, botany and mycology. Its collections rank among the finest in many fields and total more than 16 million scientific specimens and one million cultural objects.

Also visible are the Hudson River Valley, the Port of Albany, large portions of the city and its government, the foothills of the Adirondacks, the Catskills, and the Berkshires of western Massachusetts.
June Farms

Druthers Brewing Company
Druthers Albany opened in 2015. This second location is housed in a warehouse that was originally constructed in 1901. The sheer size of this location (over 17,000 square feet) allows Druthers to produce enough beer for its restaurant and off-premises sales program.
