I went to this market in August with my husband and special needs adult daughter. There was something for everyone including music, food, entertainment, and products for almost every interest. Being originally from NYC and Long Island I’ve had my share of street fairs. But this one was not overwhelmingly crowded and without access between aisles, like many of them are...also the shops remain open and accessible for browsing and that made it even more enjoyable. It was like a festival more than a fair..and my only regret is that I couldn’t get back one more time before the season ended...I’ll be back next spring!

This museum is the home of the Rensselaer County Historical Society and it is one of the hosts of Troy's annual Victorian Stroll. The Hart & Cluett families were early wealthy Troy families and owned banks, mills (collars & cuffs hence Troy's nickname The Collar City), sponsored Emma Willard School & RPI College. You can tour the entire house on three floors. At Christmas time the house is splendidly decorated to reflect the 1800s. This day is also a major fund raising event for the museum. Many volunteers are available throughout to answer any visitor's questions. Also is the home of many of Troy's historical artifacts. A must for history buffs. Also they offer educational experiences for school children.
