Join us Saturday, July 30 at 1pm for the opening of the new exhibit, In the Saratoga Style: Potato Chips and Their Regional Folklore. This exhibit explores the many stories that have claimed to explain the story behind the snack, from disgruntled customers to kitchen mishaps. The history of the legendary George Crum is examined, along with his experiences as a cook and outdoor guide of African and Native American ancestry.  Learn more about this contender for the inventor of potato chips, along with other possible innovators who may have been responsible for the irresistibly crispy potatoes. The exhibit is open to the public Thursday through Sunday, 1 pm – 5 pm starting July 30. This is an in-person event that will take place at Brookside Museum at 6 Charlton Street in Ballston Spa, NY 12020.
