| VISION
We
believe local history is vital to the growth of communities
because it unifies and strengthens communal bonds, fosters
exploration and discovery about shared heritage, exercises
imaginations, and provides context and inspiration for new goals
and growth. Brookside inspires community memory and enrichment by
telling the story of Saratoga County through programs and exhibits
that are both interactive and engaging.
MISSION
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.
COMMITMENT
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.
