• The Settlement of Half-Way Brook, Between Fort Edward and Lake George (newyorkalmanack.com) — This detailed history traces how Half-Way Brook shaped early settlement and industry around Glens Falls and Queensbury, from colonial forts and Quaker town plots to mills, tanneries, and brickyards. It pinpoints familiar modern locations—like Warren Street, Hovey Pond, Glen Lake, and Route 9—showing how today's landscape grew from these 18th- and 19th-century enterprises and waterways.
• Harlem Globetrotters to return to Albany, Glens Falls (news10.com) — The Harlem Globetrotters are scheduled to bring their Rivalry Tour to Glens Falls' Harding Mazzotti Arena on February 25, 2027, giving local families plenty of time to plan a night out. Fans can already buy pre-sale tickets starting Wednesday through the team's site or the arena's website, promising a high-energy mix of tricks, dunks, and comedy on the local court.
