As home of the Saratoga County Historical Society, Brookside Museum promotes a deeper understanding, appreciation, and enjoyment of Saratoga County’s past for people of all ages, backgrounds, and levels of interest through educational programs, innovative exhibits, ambitious web programming, personal experiences, and enduring relationships.

The museum contributes to the cultural life and prosperity of the county by preserving and enhancing collections, programs, and our historic structure. In addition to being a regional attraction, the museum conducts and publishes research in the field of Saratoga County history through exhibits, programs, publications, and an interactive web site.  Brookside also fosters research through access to its library and collections and by providing educational programming at the museum, in the community, and online.  

We are committed to conducting ourselves in all that we do according to the highest professional and ethical standards. Brookside strives to create educational opportunities for visitors while accommodating a wide range of experiences and learning styles. We are dedicated to managing our finances and resources prudently and to valuing and developing our staff and volunteers.
