The official website of the Village of Hoosick Falls, NY—the Grandma Moses Discovery Village. Located on the Hoosic River, among the bucolic foothills of the Green Mountains in the town of Hoosick, in northeast corner of New York's Rensselaer County. Home of the historic Walter A. Wood Mowing and Reaping Machinery Company—once the largest company of its kind in the world. The former factory town is now a picturesque quaint village with scenery that still inspires artists like it did with Grandma Moses in years past.
This website is in the early stages of development. Areas may be temporarily blank or unavailable. Sorry for any inconvenience. Thank you for your patience.
Police in the School: Revisted
On Tuesday, November 8th, representatives of the HFCS Panther Post Newspaper met with two of the Village’s officers—Harold McClellan and John Sotile. These two officers were there to make it clear that the intensions of the police are not to come into the school and arrest individuals, but rather to form a closer relationship with the students. Ayla Graney—one of the student representatives—wrote about the experience in a article for the Panther Post. That well-conceived article has been reprinted in PDF format HERE.
