The Washington County Historical Society is an educational organization dedicated to engaging diverse audiences in the study and appreciation of the collective heritage of Washington County, New York, and its environs.
Our primary purpose is to promote public interest and participation in the preservation of the rich cultural heritage of Washington County.
The Heritage Research Library, a repository for regional books, written documents, genealogical information and memorabilia, and the publication of regional books and annual journals, including those published by the Historical Society, highlight our preservation efforts.
Lectures, workshops, tours and social events are scheduled throughout the year.
