Chapman Reopens Second Floor of Historic House after Six Years

Chapman Reopens Second Floor of Historic House after Six Years

After nearly six years, the Chapman Museum will reopen two bedrooms on the second floor of the historic DeLong House on October 4.

"The reopening is a significant milestone for the museum and the community", said Nicold Herwig, Executive Director of the Chapman Museum. "Visitors can now step into these rooms and feel a tangible connection to the past."

Zopher and Catherine DeLong completed renovations on their Glen Street home in 1868, just after the city’s recovery from the 1864 fire. The 1868 Bedroom was a space for reading, sewing, and family care. By 1910, John and Emma DeLong modernized the home, adding a bathroom to the primary bedroom. The room, featuring ornate Victorian furniture, was Emma’s personal retreat for correspondence, reading, and sewing.

There is even an interactive kiosk available on the museums first floor for those with mobility limitations. 

Current Exhibitions:

• "Stitched in Time: 1850- 1950 Quilts" (Through Jan. 5) explores the evolution of textiles into art.
• "Glen Street, 1880s" (Through Dec. 1) showcases Glens Falls in the 1880s through photographs by Seneca Ray Stoddard
