About Pound Ridge Historical

Pound Ridge Historical is a museum in Pound Ridge, New York, where visitors explore exhibits about local heritage and participate in educational programs. The museum features a permanent exhibit with artifacts and a "Then and Now" display that tells the story of the town's past. Third grade classes take a historic bus tour stopping at a landmarked house before visiting the museum for lessons about one-room schoolhouses, receiving a booklet with maps for family tours. Fourth graders walk to the museum for scavenger hunts through the permanent exhibit to discover facts about Pound Ridge. Nursery school students experience a trunk full of artifacts and toys brought by volunteers, who lead songs familiar to young children. The Historical Society also arranges guided bus tours of antique homes followed by receptions at Conant Hall, offers school visits with interactive activities, and hosts community events like lectures on local history and poker night fundraisers at the venue.
