The SMDC is currently developing the Patsy “Pat” Zerbe Women’s Room to honor the contributions of women in sports. We are collecting artifacts (photographs, equipment, newspaper clippings, medals/trophies, etc.) to display.

Please message us at sportsmuseumofdutchesscounty@gmail.com or call Morgan at (845) 476-2314 to make an appointment for a donation.
