If you're unaware that Troy is a treasure trove of Tiffany glass creations, you can learn a lot more by taking the annual tour offered by the Hudson Mohawk Gateway. 

"We our thrilled to announce the return with five co-hosting locations of our annual Tiffany glass tour," the organization said. "Troy is said to have more Tiffany glass per square mile than any other city in the world, including a few of the most famous ever produced. 

"This guided walking tour and lecture covers the life and work of Louis Comfort Tiffany and several of his illustrious employees in their production of some astonishing works of art in glass."

The driving-and-walking tour is scheduled for 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, September 17, for $25 per person. The tour has limited tickets available on a first come, first served basis. You can go online to get ticket reservation information.

"Remember, this is a multi-block walking tour, so wear your comfortable shoes," the organizers say.
