The Saratoga County History Center, in partnership with the Saratoga County History Roundtable, is pleased to announce the opening of a new exhibit at Brookside Museum to celebrate Black History Month: “Black Experiences in Saratoga County, 1750-1950.”

The expansive exhibit explores the diverse lives of African Americans in Saratoga County from the colonial period through the mid-twentieth century.  It is a panorama of the struggles and hardships, but also stories of their persistence and success.  Displays will feature little-known events, as well as objects and memorabilia that bring to life the men and women who were often the heart and soul of Saratoga society.

The exhibit will be open at Brookside Museum (6 Charlton Street, Ballston Spa) on Saturdays and Sundays 12 – 4 PM, beginning February 6. Hours will be expanded in the spring and summer. It is free and open to the public. Donations are encouraged. All proceeds will go directly to museum upkeep and public programming.
