Travel Pro Monuments and Architecture #14: Small Town America! Glens Falls New York! Part Three (11 photos)

in #travel6 years ago

Hey there my Steemit Friends! In this Travel Pro Series we focus on significant monuments, structures, buildings, and general architecture of a given area. Everywhere in the world is different from the way people look and speak, to the food they eat, to customs, traditions, all the way down to the buildings they live in. My favorite thing to do is simply walk around and take in the environment of each place I visit. So this series gives you an idea of what that may be like and how influential these structures really are.

These photos show architecture from my home country of the United States! Glens Falls is an old colonial town in the north east. It's about an hour drive north of the Capital city of Albany New York and was settled by the Quaker's (think Quaker Oats for those Americans) in the 1760s.

The Mohawk Indians originally inhabited this land and the graphic final scene of the novel turned movie "Last of the Mohicans" takes place under the bridge connecting South Glens Fall to North Glens Falls. Today we can still see lots of old style colonial architecture mixed in with something a bit less historic.

I had the pleasure of visiting my cousin this summer who lives in Glens Falls. Making up for lost time is always a valuable thing for a long term budget traveler like myself; but I couldn't resist the opportunity to walk around and take photographs shedding some light on Small Town USA! Now come along and lets have a look around.
