The Industrial Archeology class toured historic industrial buildings and sites in Troy, Waterford, and Cohoes, New York. Traveling in a Rensselaer shuttle bus driven by program director Frederick Cawley, the group learned about the Hudson-Mohawk region's industrial heritage, with narration by adjunct professor P. Thomas Carroll, who is also executive director of the Hudson Mohawk Industrial Gateway and the RiverSpark Heritage Area.
Highlights of the tour included the Cohoes Falls, Gas Holder House, Ludlow Valve, Woodside Church, and various remaining structures of the Burden Iron Works Company, the Poestenkill Gorge, several locks of the Erie and Champlain Canals.
