Windows on New York

Hoffman’s Playland was a family-owned business located in Latham, New York, that opened in 1953 when Bill Hoffman purchased a carousel and this ticket booth and placed them on his father’s property; more rides were soon added. Bill’s son, Dave, later took ownership, and Hoffman’s continued to be a popular destination for family fun. When it closed in 2014, Dave and his wife, Ruth, donated this ticket booth to the State Museum.
