In Revolutionary days, East Fishkill was on the route of an important highway from Boston to the Hudson River, traveled by Gen. George Washington, Gen. John Burgoyne, and John Jay. The town separated from Fishkill in 1849 and received its own charter. East Fishkill remained a mainly
agricultural community until 1960, when IBM opened a
chip-manufacturing plant in town. Then it changed dramatically: the farmland disappeared under housing and commercial development. East Fishkill offers a fascinating glimpse of life in the town while it was still rural.

East Fishkill, New York (Images of America Series)
Great way to get a taste of Troy's history by viewing the pictures collected in this book and by reading the captions for each one. Ritter, a journalist and I am sure, a history buff, lays out the pictures in a way that could easily be a current walking tour of the city.
The book was published almost 20 years ago and in it Ritter predicted Troy would rise again...and it has. Downtown has been revitalized with cute shops and unique eateries. Plenty of entertaining choices, too.
In 2015, Ritter wrote a piece in the Times Union about turning forgotten tunnels and forgotten spaces under bridges into places of use. I'd like to see this happen.
