Saratoga County Historical Society at Brookside Museum - This Week in Saratoga County History

This Week in Saratoga County History

As a result of the disruptions caused by the pandemic in 2020, The Saratoga County History Roundtable (SCHR) was unable to meet together in person. To provide our History Buff’s with an opportunity to learn more about Saratoga County history, local historians began submitting weekly articles. We appreciate their contributions and we hope you enjoy them. We also welcome any comments you may have by emailing us at saratogacohistoryroundtable@gmail.com
