About Our Building
Built in 1792 as a resort hotel, the Saratoga County History Center has a long history of serving people. Among the oldest hotel buildings still standing in the United States, our history is as diverse as the people who visited here. At one time a boys’ school, the building has also been a private residence, a boarding house, a sanitarium, and apartments. In 1970, the Saratoga County History Center purchased the building and opened it as a museum. Ever since the Saratoga County History Center has been preserving Saratoga County’s unique history.
BROOKSIDE MUSEUM IS ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES.
