Knox Historical Society was founded in 1973 and is chartered with the New York State Education Department. Our goal is to preserve, protect, and promote historic culture in the Town of Knox through our research, website, publications, educational programs, and community outreach.
We meet on the first Tuesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. in the Knox Town Hall. We frequently have guest speakers. Visitors and new members are always welcome. During the summer we host several family-friendly programs which feature our collections at the Saddlemire Homestead. Unfortunately, the museum has no heat and is closed October through May. Take a virtual tour here. |
