Located in a 1792 hotel building in the historic Village of Ballston Spa, Brookside Museum has five galleries and a hands-on-history room, a research library, and a gift shop. Our mission is to inspire community memory by telling Saratoga County’s story through interactive and engaging exhibits and programs.
“Moving Forward: Exploring Our Routes in Saratoga County” is a temporary exhibition examining the history of transportation in Saratoga County. From Native trails, to horse and buggy, trolley systems to personal vehicles, how people “got around” Saratoga County has helped make our region into what it is today.
Participation in Museum Day is open to any tax-exempt or governmental museum or cultural venue on a voluntary basis. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for and does not endorse the content of the participating museums and cultural venues, and does not subsidize museums that participate.
