| VENUEThe Albany Hilton at 40 Lodge Street, Albany, NY. The link for booking hotel rooms at the Albany Hilton is: https://www.hilton.com/en/attend-my-event/palatines-to-america-2024/ This is a great location as there are several historic buildings within a couple of blocks from the hotel. One is St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, which is literally across the street. The parish was established in 1715, and it has a silver service from Queen Anne herself. It is the burial site of the only British general buried in North America, General George Howe, killed by the French at Ticonderoga. It is a 10-minute walk to the First Church of Albany, the Dutch Reformed Church with the oldest pulpit in North America. It was the church of Teddy Roosevelt and FDR when they were governors. The State Capitol is just up the street, and the State Library is a 15-minute walk from the hotel.
