Review:
Albany Regional Museum was originally constructed in 1887 as the S.E. Young Company, relocated to its current location in the city's Chinatown in 1912. Since 1980, the building has served as a repository for local cultural and civic artifacts, showcasing the rich history of the region's indigenous, pioneer, and modern-day residents. Visitors can learn about the area's role in crafting the world's first nuclear submarine in the museum's Albany's Special Metals exhibit, which details the area's production of zirconium, titanium, and niobium. The Albany Timber Carnival, a major regional 20th-century event held for over 60 years, is examined in exhibits that detail the legacy of the area residents who brought the event together. A replica train station features artifacts preserved from the region's early railroading days, including a replica shoe shine station.
