Downtown Cohoes Historic District

The Downtown Cohoes Historic District takes up 35 acres of the City. Many of the 165 contributing properties date from the 1820-1930 period when the Erie Canal and Harmony Mills were the mainstay of the city's economy. It was recognized as a historic district and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

Historic National Bank Building converted into The Cohoes Music Hall

Downtown was mostly built out by the start of the 20th century, but there are still some notable bank buildings from that period in the contemporary Classical Revival style. The National Bank Building on Remsen Street was converted into our Cohoes Music Hall.

The Cohoes Music Hall hosts a multitude of events all year long, such as concerts, dance performances, plays and comedy shows. To see upcoming events, purchase tickets and learn more about the Cohoes Music Hall click on the link below to visit their website.

Veteran's Memorial Park

In November of 2017 the Veteran's Memorial Park ceremony was held. The park was previously know as West End Park. With the efforts of Mayor Morse, the Veteran's Memorial Committee and the City of Cohoes Department of Public Works the park has been transformed into a place that residents can pay tribute to Cohoes Veteran's.

The Veteran's Memorial Committee collected donations to complete the park and also gave families an opportunity to honor their loved ones by purchasing pavers that were installed in the parks walkways.

This spring the park was blooming with all the new landscaping and a wonderful place for Cohoes families to visit. This was another CohoesPROUD moment of the City of Cohoes.

To learn more about the park or to find a way to honor a loved one please visit the Veteran's Memorial website.
