Throughout the month of May, we are welcoming visitors to our new temporary exhibition, Luther Forest: A Family, A Woodland, A Legacy, with guided tours led by our director and exhibition curator, Anne Hollmuller.

Members $0, Non-Members $5.

At the turn of the twentieth century, Thomas Clements Luther, the owner of a popular resort hotel on Saratoga Lake, began building the forest that would bear his name. Ultimately encompassing 7,000 acres in Malta and Stillwater, Luther Forest was the largest private reforestation project in New York. Despite the challenges of growing development and government intervention, five generations of the Luther-Mackay family have worked to cultivate and conserve Luther Forest, leaving a treasured legacy for future residents of Saratoga County.
