About Cohoes
Cohoes, just northeast ofAlbanyand across the Hudson fromTroy, is a beautiful city that's full of lovely historic architecture. Founded by the Dutch, it flourished during the 19th century as a center of textile manufacturing. The power for the now-historic textile mills (the largest of which — the vast Harmony Mill No. 3 — you can see on the right side of the pagebanner) came from the Cohoes Falls on the Mohawk River, still the town's foremost attraction. Now a quiet town, Cohoes may feel to visitors like an ideal movie set for a drama set in the 19th or early 20th century. Most of its attractions are walkable from each other, but there's a lot to see, so consider allotting 2 hours or more if you are an architecture or history buff.
