Tiffany Glass tour seats still available
About the event:
February is Troy Night Out's 9th birthday, and we share our birthday month with Louis Comfort Tiffany's birthday. Troy, NY is holds one of the largest Tiffany Glass collections in the world. Louis Tiffany was born on February 18th, 1848. His father, Charles, is known as the founder of Tiffany & Company, but Louis made a name for himself in the art of glassmaking. You have probably seen his work in the windows of many of Troy's churches.
