POSTCARD FROM GLENS FALLS, NEW YORK

After a long weekend in Lake George we headed South back to New York City but stopped in Glens Falls, NY along our way. Glens Falls is just a 20 minute drive from Lake George and a 25 minute drive from Saratoga Springs. 

We walked down Glen Street and stopped in a few shops. Finders Keepers had a good variety of vintage and thrift clothing, I got a few pieces at a great price! We

A quick stop for coffee of course, we thought SPoT Coffee was the perfect place to stop and take a little break. We grabbed a seat outside and enjoyed a nice afternoon before we continued exploring Glen Street.

We made a full circle, we started by walking downtown Glen Street and made our way back to City Park by Ridge Street. We didn’t stop by to enjoy the afternoon there but it was a beautiful little park with plenty of benches to sit and relax.

There isn’t an official parking lot but there is plenty of street parking, located just off Glen and Maple Street.

Continuing down Glen Street right over the Hudson River is Cooper’s Cave, a small viewing platform next to the bridge. Across the bridge, there is a picnic table. There isn’t much to see but if you are in the neighborhood and need a place to park and relax, this is a great place to park for free.

Parking for Cooper's Cave Overlook can be found right off Cooper's Cave Drive.

We headed over to the Hyde Collection and spent an afternoon browsing through their private collection, they even have a Picasso. We took our time walking through the museum then relaxed in the courtyard before deciding where to head next. Admission is $12 a person.

Another great museum to visit if you have the time is the Old Fort House Museum - The Old Fort House is part of a 17 building museum complex with 5 structures, the museum is filled with beautiful antique furniture. There is also a ghost tour you can go on at night!

Overall, we had a very pleasant afternoon in Glens Falls! So glad we had the opportunity to stop by this charming little town, and hope to make our way back to Glens Falls in the future.

I hope you have a chance to visit this adorable little town in upstate New York, if you happen to visit tag me on Instagram I’d love to see your pictures! Follow along on Instagram @lightlytraveling!
