Following the banks of the Normanskill Creek, these preserve trails reflect the area’s Dutch heritage, where “kill” means “creek.”
The trail leads past Normanskill Farm, a historic 1800s dairy farm established with the founding of Normansville. Today, this vibrant community hub shelters the Albany Police Mounted Unit’s horses, cows, and a wintering flock of sheep. It also hosts a dog park and community gardens, which are enclosed by the fence shown in this picture.

Peter, did you work for NYS OGS design and construction in the electric section at one time. If so maybe you remember Bill Lanahan.
Hi Bill, yes I did work in the electrical department for OGS in the 80s. Your name sounds familiar, but I don’t know that I remember you exactly. That was a long time ago.
Thanks for reaching out!
