SARATOGA SPRINGS — After a lengthy period of building upgrades, the New York State Military Museum will host a Grand Re-Opening Celebration 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 7. The museum is located at 61 Lake Ave.   

The event, which is free and open to the public, will feature performances by the 42nd Infantry Division band, free ice cream, and costumed re-enactors representing soldiers from many of the nation’s conflicts including the Revolutionary War, Civil War, Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, Korean War, and the Vietnam War. 

The event will also include souvenir handouts celebrating the day, a scavenger hunt for children, and more.

Housed in an historic armory constructed in 1889, the Military Museum was closed from last October through the middle of July for the installation of new slate roof and an HVAC system.
