AMSTERDAM?- After spending more than two years recovering from the destruction caused by Hurricane Irene, the Walter Elwood Museum will open at its new location Saturday. Ann Peconie, executive director of the museum, said there will be a free grand opening for the public at 100 Church St., in the industrial building that was once home to the Bigelow-Sanford carpet mills and the Noteworthy Complex. "I want people to visit and be intrigued," she said. "This museum is rich in local history and I want visitors to be as excited about it as I am. Learning about our history not only links us to our past but our future as well." <http://www.leaderherald.com/page/content.detail/id/559619/Flood-fails-to-sink-Amsterdam-museum.html?nav=5011> -- Bob Sullivan Schenectady Digital History Archive <http://www.schenectadyhistory.org/> Schenectady County (NY) Public Library
