The Stupendous Stoop Stroll & Garden Tour…
Each year the Center Square Association, Historic Albany Foundation and Hudson/Park Neighborhood Association present the Hidden City House & Garden Tour in June.
Usually, this tour invites the public into historic homes and gardens of both Center Square and Hudson Park, however, 2021 will be a little different. Due to the utmost concern for the health and safety of our homeowners, guests, volunteers and staff, we are creating a fun and unique day-long Stoop Stroll through Center Square and Hudson/Park, which are renowned for their distinctive stoops and facades.
List of Events (from 10-4pm)
