Founded in 1785 (though not a daily newspaper until 1860), the Journal is the oldest paper in New York State and the third oldest in the nation.
The editor of the Journal was the official reporter for New York when the state ratified the United States Constitution in 1788. The paper also served as the launching point for stories when President Franklin D. Roosevelt was at his estate in nearby Hyde Park.
The building is listed on the US National Register of Historic Places.

Visit Instructions:
A photograph that depicts your presence at the building is necessary. This can be a picture of your GPSr in the foreground in only one of your many pictures, or if you're not too camera shy, put you or a team member in the picture. Maybe even buy a newspaper while they're still in business. They need all the help they can get. No picture, no new log. And no icon.
