An airplane departs from Albany’s modern-day airport, rising over the bustling Capital District and the charm of lush fields and a red barn, below. At the end of the runway you will find Latham, where Shaker peddlers in the mid-1800s pioneered the garden seed industry and nearby local farmers invented the circular saw. Today, the Town of Colonie continues to evolve as a thriving commercial patchwork, transforming from a vast Dutch farmland into a series of smaller farms and, eventually, a charming, modern-day hamlet watched over dutifully by red- and white-checkered water towers.
A thriving hub of local culture, the William K. Sanford Town Library hosts frequent public presentations of book reviews and lectures by the Capital District Genealogical Society. But the gem here is the Sanford Artist’s Corner Art Gallery, which hosts a different artist or art period almost every month, and a gallery that showcases student work.
History buffs may know that the first Shaker community is located just one mile from our boutique hotel in Albany.

Bypass the main sports bar with its 40 HDTVs and head into the heart of Wolf’s: the game room. You can be a kid again as you test your skills with classic pinball games, as well as air hockey, pop-a-shot, Daytona 500 racing games and Guitar Hero.
