Historical Society of Rockland County is a museum and educational organization dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich history of Rockland County and the Lower Hudson Valley. Visitors explore two museum galleries in the History Center, where exhibitions such as "Rockland in the Revolution: A 250th Anniversary Exploration" examine key periods in the county's past. The society operates the Jacob Blauvelt House, a historic 18th-century home on four acres, offering docent-guided tours that reveal the life and times of its original inhabitants. The facility includes a library and collections storage preserving artifacts and archival materials reflecting diverse local history. Educational programs and lectures cover topics ranging from the American Revolution to the region's prominent riverside figures. The society also hosts annual events including the Fall Festival and Historic Homes and Landmarks tours that showcase preserved structures throughout the county. Located in New City, the Historical Society serves researchers, history enthusiasts, and families interested in Lower Hudson Valley heritage.
Hours: Wednesdays–Fridays, 10 a.m.–5 p.m.; Exhibition open Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays 12 to 4 pm
