A bronze plaque in the vestibule of the museum states that the Livingston County Historical Society was founded in 1876. The Society holds the distinction of being one of the oldest organizations of its kind in Western New York. Incorporated in 1877, the Historical Society has functioned continuously since its founding and has a large membership. The Historical Society is an educational institution under the University of the State of New York, and is, therefore, a tax-exempt organization.
Contributions are deductible for tax purposes.
There is a Memorials program through which members and friends may contribute. The Historical Society will also be happy to arrange group tours of the museum for other days and times to accommodate any organization. In celebrating the 125th anniversay, the society has some special surpises and new contributions to share with the public. Livingston County Historical Society 125th Anniversary 2001 marks the 125th year of existence for the Livingston County Historical Society. Please join us over the course of the next year as we celebrate our anniversary with presentations and programs that exemplify the many facets of Livingston County history.
