County Life in Photographs Exhibit Opening

May 5, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

 

Join us on Friday, May 5th at 7pm for the opening of the new County Life in Photographs exhibit. The new exhibit includes 26 images of gatherings in Saratoga County between 1870 and 1950, interpreting the ways in which county residents interacted in social, political, and celebratory contexts. A prime example is the panoramic photo of the Jonesville Methodist Church clambake in 1922, a wildly popular annual event that ran for 66 years until ending in 1962. Most photographs were found in the History Center collection, while others were provided by town historians. The research was carried out by three students from the history department at Skidmore College.  This is a free in-person event, sponsored by the Saratoga County History Center, that will take place at Brookside Museum, located at 6 Charlton Street in Ballston Spa, NY 12020.
