Tour of Future 'Gilded Age' Set in Capital Region Available Soon

Viewers of the show The Gilded Age have a very unique opportunity available to them this weekend.

The show, which tells the story of the period of time from about the late 1870s to the late 1890s in New York known as the Gilded Age, is set to begin production on its third season in 2024. As such, the HBO original will be returning to New York's Capital Region to film for a third consecutive season.

Ahead of the start of production on season three, rumors have been swirling about where in the Capital Region the show will be filming in 2024. A report from New York Upstate confirmed that the show will return to Troy, and will be setting up shop on Pawling Avenue.

The report also states that the show will be filming in Schenectady. After filming in Troy for Season 1, production expanded to include Albany and Cohoes in Season 2.

With all of that in-mind, Troy's Hart Cluett Museum is offering fans of the show a once-in-a-lifetime chance to tour the area, and learn more about its history ahead of the new season.
