Melanie Lekocevic reports for Capital Region Independent Media that the Town of Coeymans celebrates its 350th anniversary this year. There will be a parade and other special events this summer and right now the historical society’s museum at 15 Mountain Road in Ravena has an exhibit on the town's founding. “You don’t really know who you are if you don’t know where you’ve come from or where you’ve been,” Albany County Legislator Zachary Collins, a Republican who represents Coeymans, said after visiting the exhibit. “I just had a tour of the museum and it’s amazing.
