SUMMARY:Luther Forest: A Family\, A Woodland\, A Legacy: Exhibition Opening Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the opening of our new temporary exhibition at Saratoga County History Center\n\n  \n\nSaratoga County History Center at Brookside Museum invites you to celebrate the opening of our new exhibition\, Luther Forest: A Family\, A Woodland\, focusing on the history and evolutions of the private forest in Malta and Stillwater. Come and enjoy light bites and sparkling water and be among the first to view our new show. \nAt 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. \nThis exhibition forms a part of our Spotlight on Malta History series\, which was generously supported by a grant from the GlobalFoundries/Town of Malta Foundation. This exhibition was curated by Dr. A.L. Hollmuller\, and installed in partnership with Field Horne and Marianne Bez. \nRegister HERE
