It should be noted that the Troy's Tiffany Treasures tour is the most popular of the tours and always sells out early. Of interest also, is that three of the Tiffany tour locations are described in the Church Memorial and Family Name data base section on the TIGS website under PROJECTS. They are the Julia Howard Bush Memorial Center (formerly the First Presbyterian Church) on the campus of the Russell Sage College, St. John's Episcopal Church and St. Paul's Episcopal Church.
