#AlbanyNY served up about 47 #historicalmarkers in 1886 to celebrate the city charter's bicentennial. Shocking/not shocking that only one never made it to its intended destination – the one honoring Black citizens.
The full story is here:

For three years, I've been running down the stories behind a series of bronze tablets the city of #Albany NY created in 1886 for the bicentennial of its 1686 city charter. I finally got to the last one, No. 47, showing the site of the old state Capitol building.

Albany Bicentennial Tablet 46 – a #marker honoring "Jewish Congregations," which I suppose was originally placed on this structure when it was Temple Beth Emeth. Haven't found the marker, but I did try to give a capsule history of the major #Jewish congregations in #Albany, including Albany's role in reform Judaism as the home of Rabbi Isaac Wise.

We're in the bonus round – the #Albany Bicentennial Markers that somehow were not recorded by the Bicentennial Committee in 1886. This one marks Madison Avenue and makes note of one of its former names, but doesn't provide more than that. Hoxsie will at least tell you who Lydius was.

I often write about the #LocalHistory of #AlbanyNY – I've been focused on telling the stories of a series of #markers put up during the city's charter #bicentennial.
The latest entry tells some stories of one of #Albany's shortest streets, Norton Street, where #AaronBurr once practiced law.https://hoxsie.org/2023/07/10/albany-bicentennial-tablet-no-39-norton-street/
