NY State Military Museum expands hours for Summer Track Season in Saratoga
SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY (06/25/2019) — To better serve visitors to the Saratoga region during the race season this summer, the New York State Military Museum and Veterans Research Center will also be open Mondays 10 am-4 pm from July 8 to August 26. This adds to the regular hours of Tuesday through Saturday, also 10 am-4 pm.
The New York State Military Museum and Veterans Research Center is housed in the historic New York State Armory in Saratoga Springs. The mission of the museum and research center is to preserve, interpret and disseminate the story, history and records of New York State's military forces and veterans. The collection is divided into the museum and the library/archives holdings.
The museum has permanent exhibits telling the story of New York's men and women in the Revolutionary War, Civil War, World War I, World War II, Korean and Vietnam and as members of the state militia in the 19th Century. The museum has more than 10,000 artifacts ranging from the Revolutionary War to the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The New York State Military Museum is also responsible for the historical exhibits and artifacts at New York's Army National Guard armories. These artifacts and displays, which include historic armored vehicles once used by the Guard, connect current Army National Guard Soldiers with those who served in the past.
The New York State Military Museum is located at 61 Lake Avenue in Saratoga Springs. The program is supported by the Friends of the New York State Military Museum.
