Quick little museum to walk through with a handful of smaller exhibits, with additional exhibits rotating in throughout the year. A fun place to take kids to learn about some history of the region.
Very nice museum. Family friendly. We enjoyed playing with the old typewriter, stereo and Nintendo while learning about the history of the region.
A lovely family oriented museum that immerses you into the 19th century.
I went in with a mission: to find a 19th century map of South Glens Falls to investigate abandoned railroad tracks I found near my house. I found it! Delaware& Hudson!
Lots of hands on stuff for the little ones!
Enjoy!

Centrally located from city center. Five minute walk from Crandall Library. Self-guided exhibits focus on local history with a lot of photos from decades past. Many hands-on exhibits for the kids. Friendly atmosphere. One hour is enough time to see everything.
Fun and interesting. I was able to use a typewriter, which was very interesting. Also educational, my family did not even know what some of the items were.
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.

Lots of rooms and things to discover - more kid-friendly than I thought it would be!
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!

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.
