Glens Falls’ former Merkel and Gelman store was famous for its elaborate display windows. A display from the mid-1940s congratulates the Girl Scouts of America on its 32nd anniversary.
Glens Falls celebrates its 100th anniversary as an incorporated city today — March 13, 2008. The city’s Chapman Historical Museum will observe the milestone with the exhibition “Building Blocks of a Community: 100 Years of Commerce in Glens Falls.” The Chapman recently allowed The Gazette to view photos in its electronic scrapbook; here are some of our favorites.
