Toys for Toga - Drop Off Location
This holiday season, the Saratoga Automobile Museum is proud to participate in the 13th annual Toys for Toga holiday toy drive. This community-wide effort brings joy to more than 1,500 children in Saratoga County every year. In 2024, our region came together in a record-breaking way by collecting more than 4,500 toys and raising over $12,000 to help local families. As the 2025 campaign begins, we are excited to help make this year even more impactful.
OUTSTANDING SLATE SET FOR NOVEMBER’S RACING MEMORIES PROGRAM
The 2025 edition of the Saratoga Automobile Museum’s popular Racing Memories program (formerly Lost Speedways) is set for Saturday, November 29th with an all-star slate of topics.
“We’ll have six segments that I’ll kick off with a bit titled “The Good Old Days Weren’t All That Good,” said organizer Ron Hedger. “We received a thumb drive from the family of George Lester, a former track photographer at the Fonda Speedway alongside Russ Bergh, that has some terrific but scary shots from the 1950’s and early 60’s. The photos should trigger a lot of memories for old-timers and we thank Don Lester for sending them along.”
The Iconic Mako Shark at the Saratoga Auto Museum
One of the most legendary concept cars in automotive history is emerging from the depths of the GM Heritage Collection and heading straight for the spotlight at the Saratoga Automobile Museum. As part of the new exhibition Speed - Style - Legacy: The Corvette Story, visitors will have the rare opportunity to come face-to-face with the jaw-dropping 1961 Mako Shark I Corvette — a vehicle as bold and unforgettable as the ocean predator that inspired it.
