Four galleries inside our historic 1792 home — spanning grand resort hotels, hands-on history for kids, and the everyday life of Saratoga County.
How an unassuming 1792 guest house at the mineral springs drew a young nation to Ballston Spa — and helped invent the American idea of leisure travel. Trace the building's many lives, from spa hotel to boarding school to the museum it is today.
A sweeping introduction to the towns, industries, waterways, and people that make up the county — the perfect orientation whether you're a lifelong resident or a first-time visitor.
A hands-on room built for curious kids — where the past is something you touch, try on, and puzzle out. Bring the family and let them dig in.
Original work by Ballston Spa Middle School students, displayed throughout the galleries — proof that the county's story is still being written by its youngest historians.
Tavern dinners, garden plantings, living-history days, and good company — moments from our recent seasons.
