In Schenectady, we are fortunate to have a wonderful place like the Museum of Science and Innovation, also known as miSci, and while the facility shut down Wednesday, for a time to help the cause in the fight against COVID-19, it is on stable footing and not going anywhere. The Schenectady County Historical Society and the Efner History Center at City Hall are two more stable and popular destinations for those delving into local history, and while the Edison Tech Center and the Tribes Hill Heritage Center don’t have
