What if Scotia, NY's Glen-Sanders Mansion had no Glens, no Sanderses? That's what happened in 1963, when Mrs. Pearl Sanders sold the historic house dating to 1713. For years, it looked as if the mansion could be lost at any time.
In my latest post, I take a look at the history of the mansion – the very symbol of my hometown – from 1963 until today, when its fate is again uncertain.

On my local history blog, getting back to posting about whatever catches my eye. In this case, that's the story of Schenectady's Evan Richards, a Nott Terrace High School student who in 1946 won the Kodak National High School Photo Contest with a shot of a Freihofer's horse and bread wagon.
Not big history, but an interesting story.
