Donors like you are needed to help us raise $45,000 to help to “Finish the Job!”

Help us bring our 18th century building firmly into the 21st century.

Last year you helped us Preserve the Porch, which was in dire need of restoration. There are many other aspects of the building that need immediate attention. To make matters worse, we, like you, are confronted with rising energy prices and supply shortages. Nevertheless, we press on. Our most immediate tasks include replacing the old, inefficient water heaters that serve the bathrooms and kitchen, replacing nearly fifty windows (dating back to 1952!) with modern, insulated storm panes (which can protect our precious collections and cut down on heating costs), and replacing broken and outdated thermostats (which, again, pose a threat to both our exhibits and our finances).

The total cost is estimated at $45,000.To raise that sum, the Saratoga County History Center, which operates Brookside Museum, is launching a fundraising drive. “Finish the Job!” will begin November 2. But, we are thrilled to say that a generous donor, and long-time supporter of the History Center will match the first $10,000 donated, and another generous friend of SCHC will match the next $5,000.

Donors like you are needed to help us raise at least $30,000, and earn the matching donations, to help to “Finish the Job!” This is an important project, and we need your support!

As the Saratoga History Center is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization, your generous donation is tax-deductible.
