About the Tours
These special tours explore the legends, folklore, and ghost stories connected to the historic state Capitol.
In tales that mix history with macabre, tour guides will tell shocking stories about the night watchman who died in the Capitol fire of 1911 and still makes his rounds today, and the two US presidents who visited the Capitol after they died.
Find out where the Assembly Chamber’s “lost” murals are located, and what happened to the tormented artist who created them. Walking among the gargoyle-like carvings and strange carved faces, visitors will discover the location of the Capitol’s “secret demon” and evidence of a curse the demon may hold on the Capitol will be revealed, along with other dark secrets.

What comes after graduation? Many College Experience students, in fact most, choose to remain in Albany. They maintain friendships with their fellow and former graduates, form romantic partnerships, and some get married.
