“Supporting the Poor in Saratoga County”

Thursday, March 24 – 7 PM  

The Saratoga County History Roundtable will present a program by County Historian Lauren Roberts on the 130-year history of the County Poorhouse. The  Poorhouse was established in 1827, when the county purchased land to accommodate an AlmsHouse for “the victims of misfortune.” As the county grew, so did the number of people who needed care. The Poor House complex included a large-scale farm, schoolhouse, imposing brick residence and an infirmary.
