ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) – Gov. Andrew Cuomo Andrew Cuomo recently rooted through a warehouse in Schenectady County’s Rotterdam and picked out dozens of state artifacts for display in the Capitol in Albany.

The documents, antique automobiles and even an Adirondack guide boat are being readied for display in time for his State of the State address on Wednesday.

Cuomo tells The Associated Press he wants the historic items from the executive and legislative branches and the press corps to be available for tours by school children.

Cuomo says they’ll help bring state history alive to students and attract more tours.

The displays will be outside his office in the Hall of Governors and in front of the Assembly and Senate chambers and press row.
