The newest addition to the permanent collection of the Spindle City Historic Society is a collection of miniature horses that once belonged to Grace Reavy, an accomplished Cohoes businesswoman in the first half of the 20th century. She was the first woman in New York State to be named to municipal public office. This collection is now on display in the Cohoes Visitors Center, on the ground floor of the Cohoes Music Hall at 58 Remsen Street, Cohoes. Visitors Center hours are Tuesday - Friday from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. See "Grace Reavy" to read a feature article on Ms Reavy from the Fall 2005 issue of the SCHS newsletter.
