Welcome to Albany County Back In The Day. This gallery captures Albany County during an era of profound transformation between 1890 and 1920. A beautiful contrast emerges in the region’s dual identities: the quiet, fading rhythms of rural farmsteads and dirt roads alongside the roaring emergence of a modern urban landscape. From cobblestone city centers bustling with early streetcars to the serene, untouched expanses of upstate countryside, these archival images invite the modern sojourner to experience the pure nostalgia of a bygone New York.
