BALLSTON SPA — While schools and educational programs are returning to normal, the Saratoga County History Center is expanding its staff and offering quality and interactive programs to kindergarten through grade 12 schools. The History Center continues its famous 40-year tradition of the Sheep to Shawl program, but has expanded its interactive experiences like Civil War Letters and Saratoga County Water Works.
“Saratoga County’s students are the future. We are pleased to expand the funding for our educator who shines a light on our county’s local history, which we bring to the classroom,” said Field Horne, president of the Saratoga County History Center.
“We are thrilled to start 2023 with an active education program with local schools and organizations,” said Director of Education Anne Clothier. “In the past month, SCHC has already brought our Native New York program to public schools, home school families enjoyed our Brookside Digs Archeology Experience, and we took our textile history program to senior residences. We look forward to sharing our county’s rich history through these presentations and hands-on activities throughout the year.”
