Tour Living History Museum
While visiting the exhibit buildings now at Museum Village, you can shop in a 130-year-old general store, see a real Mastodon skeleton, make a candle, step inside a 200-year-old log cabin, sit in a one-room schoolhouse, and watch a broom being made. All that and be home in time for dinner!

Object of the Month
March’s Object of the Month
March’s Object of the Month was chosen by our longtime Collections volunteer, Joyce Holloway. It is one of her favorite objects at the museum! Victorian Child’s Rocker, ca. 1880-1890; maple and wicker. Manufactured by Heywood Bros. & Co., Gardner, Massachusetts. This child’s rocking chair has a wicker weave back with a Japanese fan, moon, and five pointed star. It has a bowed crest rail continuing in arms with a chain motif. How gorgeous!
We were named as a "2019 Top Family-Friendly Place To Go" by Hudson Valley Parent Magazine!
