Here in the heart of historic Johnstown, New York was born a Governor of New York State. Enos T. Throop probably grew up and played around the court house as a kid. It's right across the street from his house. What a better place to learn about politics then in a goverment building in your own front yard. Wonder if he ever broke a court house window with a baseball? He must have started somewhere's. The current site of his birthplace is now that of the United States Post Office and the sign is on the side of this building. Definitely a beautiful building well worth taking a look at. This place is steeped in history and no one should rush through the waymarks here. Take your time and enjoy. Happy WMin', Swizzle & Family
