Chapman Historical Museum


The Chapman Historical Museum is a restored house museum featuring furnishings and historical artifacts depicting life in Glens Falls, New York, United States during the late 19th century. The museum is owned and operated by the Glens Falls/Queensbury Historical Association. The home that houses the museum was originally built by Zopher DeLong and restored in 1968.

Overview

As a test for the proposed removal of signs in Adirondack Park, the museum benefited from new signs leading visitors there, as well as to its neighbors, The Hyde Collection and the Charles R. Wood Theater.

Funding

In addition to its regular exhibits, the museum was awarded a $50,000 grant in 2004 to create a portable, educational exhibit that could help educate area students about the local history from the French and Indian War to local development in the 1950s.
