Saratoga Springs History Museum, History museum in Saratoga Springs, United States.
The Saratoga Springs History Museum spreads across three floors with exhibits, historical documents, and photographs. The displays show how the town changed and developed over time.
The town began as a Native American settlement and transformed into a mineral springs resort in the 1800s. This change shaped how the community grew and what it became.
The George S. Bolster Collection holds 325,000 photographic negatives from 1900 to 1960 that show what daily life looked like for local residents. These images let visitors see how people actually lived in earlier times.
The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM with self-guided audio tours available. These tours help visitors explore the exhibits at their own pace.
The museum hosts murder mystery dinner events at the historic Canfield Casino that blend local history with interactive entertainment. Visitors can enjoy gourmet food while solving a staged crime scenario.
