The Saratoga County Historical Society/Brookside Museum has begun a campaign to reorganize and prevent the potential closure of the museum.
Help SCHS/Brookside to temporarily remain open while we being the process of restructuring for a sustainable future. A grass roots “Save Brookside” campaign has begun in order to fill the rest of the budget shortfall for the rest of this year and into next year with a goal of raising $100,000 by March of 2020. Without this support the museum is in real danger of having to close, depriving the community of all of the benefits that SCHS/Brookside Museum brings.
