The Chapman Museum in Glens Falls is a great little museum depicting the history of the greater Glens Falls region. One part of the museum is the house of the DeLong family. This part of the museum contains many artifacts from different time periods ranging from the early 20th century to the late 20th century. Some of these items include a 1920's radio, record players, silverware, TV, and Nintendo. Most of these items are hands on and they encourage you to touch the items. The other part of the museum contains galleries displaying local history. There is a telephone switchboard from the 1960's, sewing machines, farm equipment, carriage, and time clock. There are also a few items from local factories. The other gallery depicts rotating exhibits of local interest. As of the writing of this it was a photo gallery for the works of Adirondack photographer Seneca Ray Stoddard. Staff is very friendly and gift shop has a great selection of local books, posters, and memorabilia. If you are from the area definitely worth a look.

It is a very nice place. It is small, but does a good job of involving children in the history. Each room has something they can touch and play with related to what is on the walls and artifacts. There are signs that say, "You can touch this, but please don't touch exhibits on the wall." It is a proactive approach and gives life to each room and what they are trying to show. Not a big place, and it's also not a big price. Well worth $5 and free under 12. Kids 8-11 who like to explore the way things were would get it. Not sizzle, but good steak.

Small interactive museum, really enjoyed the current exhibit on personal effects, guess what this item was used for, women in the work place, and sitting thumbing through old Glens Falls High school yearbooks. I am glad we are more politically in 2019! They have a great collection of books for sale and love seeing all the local authors books available! The $5 admission is certainly a great trade for your couple of hours of entertainment!

Pretty cool little museum with many exhibits. One section of the museum was the DeLong family, filled with many hands-on things for children. It was interesting to learn more about Glens Falls area, the making of maps, the Adirondack artist, a lot of pretty cool things.

The Chapman hosts the traditional house museum, but they also research local history & put up small, rotating exhibits throughout the year. There is always something new. Lectures, oral histories, storytelling, downtown & Cemetery walking tours also.

It's the best museum for children to show old things. A lot of exhibits are allowed to touch and you can try to use them. We loved this museum! Feeling like we were at time machine journey.
