Stretching for more than 30 miles along the scenic Hudson River in upstate New York, Rensselaer County will delight visitors with something for everyone. Explore the county from the hustle and bustle of an industrial city to preserved, intact farmsteads. Rensselaer County is a place that truly caters to families.
Take on the miles of trails to hike and bike at any of our three state parks located within Rensselaer County, close to Albany NY. Take in a movie at one of our two drive-in theaters. Enjoy the thrill of competition with outstanding minor league baseball at a Tri-City Valley Cats game. Outdoor concerts and farmers markets highlight the summer months in Rensselaer, along with fun times along the river.
Rensselaer County has also played a key role in American history from early Dutch settlers to the American Revolution, the Underground Railroad, Civil War and the Industrial Revolution and of course Uncle Sam. Did you know that the term Uncle Sam originated based on a Troy NY meatpacker’s provisions delivered to soldiers during the War of 1812? Visit historic sites and see Tiffany windows and architectural delights with tours, presentations and hidden gems waiting to be discovered throughout Rensselaer County.
