DESCRIPTION / DIRECTIONS: As you face the front of the complex, the Potsdam Public Museum is the building to the right of the Civic Center's municipal offices (the Potsdam Public Library is to the left of the municipal offices). The Potsdam Museum is both a museum and a research center (offering information on Potsdam since ~1800).

PARKING: Free parking is behind the municipal building, i.e. in the lot next to the fire station, entrance on Main Street (if there is no room there, park across the street from the theater or in the lot behind the theater - entrances on Elm St. or Union St.). Enter at the corner of the building - at the Potsdam Emergency Services entrance. Turn right after you enter and go past the restrooms and vending machines up the first flight of stairs (there is an elevator to the right of these stairs, if needed). At the top of the first landing go straight into the Civic Center office area, at the front of building turn into the hallway left and enter the Museum. There is only 15 minute parking on the street in front of the building.

ACCESSIBILITY: There are some handicapped parking spots in the Civic Center lot. There is a small elevator (near the staircase) that will take you to the second floor. If it is locked, ask at the Police Station window (to the left of the entrance) if they could unlock it for you.
