History buffs can lose hours in the New York State Museum, where exhibits somehow make state governance fascinating. The USS Slater, a restored World War II destroyer escort, offers maritime tales from sailors who speak of the Atlantic as if it were their backyard. Albany Institute of History and Art houses collections spanning centuries in a city collecting stories since 1614.
