Schenectady's home for history

The Schenectady County Historical Society was founded in 1905 to share and preserve Schenectady County’s history.

Today we bring history and culture to life through exhibits, programs, research, and community events at our sites.

 

 

 

Our Sites

We own and operate three historic sites in Schenectady County – home to exhibitions and events.
