COLLECTIONS

The Bolton Museum acquires and maintains collections of documents, photographs, and other items pertaining to and indicative of the natural, built, and cultural life of Lake George, the Town of Bolton, and Bolton Landing in the Adirondack Park and the State of New York. These increasing and evolving collections support the Museum’s ability to engage audiences through interactive and dynamic exhibits, educational programs, community outreach and partnerships, publications, and research services by telling the many stories of this place and its people.

 In addition to the collection and care of tangible objects, archives, photographs, papers, letters, print and autograph materials, The Bolton Museum gathers information, documentation, data, and communications relevant to Indigenous life, and geological, climatological, and hydrological phenomena that shaped this region.
