- Charles Steinmetz, 1890 - Charles Steinmetz studied science and mathematics before moving to the United States in 1889. He joined the small electrical firm of Rudolf Eickemeyer, a fellow German immigrant who encouraged Steinmetz to experiment and publish his research. Eickemeyer provided Steinmetz with a laboratory and a wide range of practical experience. Within a few years, Steinmetz would become an accomplished electrical engineer.

- Charles Steinmetz Cabin - This cabin was originally located on a steep bank overlooking a tributary of the Mohawk River, just outside of Schenectady, New York. Its simplicity was a contrast to the General Electric laboratories where Steinmetz spent his workweek. It served as a getaway -- for quiet study or writing, but also for more animated weekend camp gatherings for selected friends and associates.
