A bronze plaque in the vestibule of the museum states that 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 education institution under the University of the State of New York, and is, therefore, a tax exempt Organization.

There is a Memorials program through which members and friends may contribute. The background cobblestone is a closeup of the Museum pictured above.
