As a result of the disruptions caused by the pandemic, SCHR has been unable to meet together this year. To provide our History Buff’s with an opportunity to learn more about Saratoga County history, local historians are submitting weekly articles. We appreciate their contributions and we hope you enjoy them. We also welcome any comments you may have by emailing us at saratogacohistoryroundtable@gmail.com
