Gloversville’s Community Walk

Did you know that Teddy Roosevelt, F.D.R., and Harpo Marx once walked the streets of Gloversville? See the same buildings and architecture that a young MGM Studio head Samuel Goldwyn once viewed in Downtown Gloversville! There are 10 historical places with local history markers. This walking tour will highlight the rich history and architectural styles behind those buildings and give discussion to the ones that will be reimagined with the New York State Downtown Revitalization Initiative grant. Visit the past, as Gloversville was the city that that once gloved the nation and see the plans for the future that will update buildings but pay homage to Gloversville's rich history. The free tours will be held on June 17 and 18 at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Meet at the parking lot at the Gloversville Water Department at 67 S. Main St. We will be walking on the sidewalks and streets of Gloversville for about 1.5 miles so dress appropriately. Register here!
