Schenectady
About 70,000 people.
Schenectady sits along the Mohawk River and once earned the nickname the city that lights and hauls the world for its factories. Today it is a friendly place full of history and invention.
Watch a show at the beautiful old Proctors Theatre, learn about robots and electricity at the miSci science museum, and stroll the historic Stockade neighborhood by the river.

Old Riverside Streets
The Stockade neighborhood has some of the oldest houses in the whole state, right beside the Mohawk River. Walking there feels like stepping back in time.
