Brookside Museum / Saratoga County Historical Society
Lawn maintenance. Would you like to contribute some time to Brookside? We are desperately in need of a few people to volunteer to mow the lawn this summer. Call or email info@brooksidemuseum.org.

Volunteers. You can play a part in Brookside Museum’s vital work of caring for the history of our county. Over 50 volunteers of all ages support our small permanent staff as active partners. Their gifts of energy and time (from a few hours for a special event to a weekly commitment) help to contain costs, raise income, and enable jobs to be undertaken which staff could never be able to accomplish on their own.
