In an effort to contemporize the Adirondack History Center Museum it has been renamed the Adirondack History Museum. Other changes are in the works too, including a new website that will become live sometime this year.
The museum is also under new leadership. Aurora McCaffrey, who has been an employee of the museum for about 5 years and the former Collections Manager and Volunteer Coordinator, has been appointed the Adirondack History Museum’s Acting Director.
“The Adirondack History Museum (formerly known as the Adirondack History Center Museum) is stepping into its 2015 season with a new name, a new acting director and staff and several new exhibits for the 2015 season.
The museum staff, volunteers, and board members are working to improve all aspects of the museum experience, including member benefits, educational outreach, and increasing community involvement and resource accessibility.” (Denpubs)

The museum opens for its 2015 season on May 25, and will remain open every day until Columbus Day weekend.
