Schenectady County Sesquicentennial Historical Souvenir Program

In 1959, the Schenectady Commemorative Committee, Inc. published a souvenir booklet with many photographs and articles about 150 years of Schenectady County history. The Schenectady County Public Library has copies in its Schenectady Collection [Schdy R 974.744 S3245] and others available for borrowing. We are beginning to reproduce it here, including the advertisements.
