June 25, 2025History Center Issues Call for 2025 Award Nominations
The Saratoga County History Center at Brookside Museum has issued a call for nominations for its fourth annual Saratoga County Public History Award. Each year the SCHC confers the award on two individuals who have made a significant contribution in preserving, interpreting, researching, publishing, promoting or otherwise extending knowledge and understanding of the history of Saratoga County.
Isobel Connell, President of the Museum’s Board of Trustees is excited about continuing this tradition. “The History Center is honored to recognize those inspiring individuals, from around Saratoga County, who have done such wonderful work preserving and sharing our local history.”
The Public History Award is designed to recognize the long-standing efforts of those who share a passion for Saratoga County history, and to encourage others to become involved in local history projects and activities.
Nominations for the 2025 awards should be submitted by July 20 to info@brooksidemuseum.org and include a short biography of the nominee and a description of their contributions and references. Submission forms are available at

The Award Selection Committee will review and select winners by August 20. An award ceremony will be held in early October at Brookside Museum in Ballston Spa to honor the recipients.
The committee consists of prior winners Carol Godette, Jim Richmond, museum board members William Allerdice and Lynda Bryan, and Michelle Isopo, Director of the Saratoga Room at the Saratoga Springs Public Library.
