Brown Bag Lunch Lecture Series

This monthly educational seminar, originally produced by the Saratoga Heritage Area Visitor Center, began in the early 1990’s and has remained popular for over 30 years. In the early 2000’s, the program outgrew the capacity of the Visitor Center and a partnership was formed with the Saratoga Springs Public Library. This partnership allows us to offer more seating for attendees, provide research guidance for speakers, utilize presentation equipment and arrange for IT support on the day of the program. This community lecture series is meant to highlight the rich history, culture and traditions of our city and Heritage Area. Programs attract an audience of mostly locals who are interested in area history and learning about their community.

• This lecture series takes place eight times per year during the spring and fall seasons: March – June and September – December. There are no programs in July and August.
• Programs are offered in-person at the Saratoga Springs Public Library, 49 Henry Street, Saratoga Springs, NY 
• All programs run from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.
• All programs are FREE and open to the public. 
• We encourage attendees to check the library website for registration, more information and guidelines.
