The Saratoga County History Center, in partnership with the Saratoga County History Roundtable, presents a new exhibit at Brookside Museum to celebrate Black History Month: “Black Experiences in Saratoga County, 1750-1950.” The expansive exhibit explores the diverse lives of African Americans in Saratoga County from the colonial period through the mid-twentieth century.  It is a panorama of the struggles and hardships, but also stories of their persistence and success.  Displays will feature little-known events, as well as objects and memorabilia that bring to life the men and women who were often the heart and soul of Saratoga society. The exhibit will be open beginning February 6.
