Rexford, New York

Rexford is a hamlet in Saratoga County, New York, United States, located on the north bank of the Mohawk River.

To the south, it is bounded by the Mohawk River and Grooms Road and to the west, Alplaus and the Schenectady County line.

[1] Rexford was the site of an aqueduct that brought vessels traveling the Erie Canal across the Mohawk River.

Large arches which supported its towpath can still be seen from the Route 146 bridge crossing the river today.

[2][5][6] Before its demise the McLane was a mysterious-looking, old-fashioned and extremely weathered building with large galleries on both floors and a cupola at its peak.
