A Road Through Time will take you on a trip up New York State's oldest road, from Manhattan's Bowling Green to the Adirondacks' Lake George, exploring relics and stories of centuries along the way. It began as a Native American path, became a Dutch wagon lane, then an English "high-way" and an artery of new America; teasing out the original route from old maps is an adventure in itself. The road takes us past abandoned fieldstone farmhouses, iconic skyscrapers, pristine churches, fabulous mansions - linked by a chain of timeworn milestones. In places it is still a dirt lane through woods. With more than 75 photographs and maps, old and new, ride the old road through these pages or use them to guide and inform your own road trip - through a valley as beautivul as it is rich in American history and culture.
