Haverstraw Brick Museum: 410/250

The Village of Haverstraw is celebrating 410 years since its first appearance in the Dutch historical record as “Haverstroo.” On the weekend of 6/20, the Haverstraw Brick Museum will mark the 250th anniversary of the United States with a new exhibition exploring the under-documented and largely untold stories of New York’s origins, America’s fight for independence, and the rise of Haverstraw’s 130-year-old brick industry. The exhibition also traces the growth of the Industrial Age and Haverstraw’s role in building the infrastructure of one of the greatest cities in the world, New York. Situated on the Hudson River, just 45 minutes by train from Grand Central to the Ossining Ferry, and 15 minutes from the Palisades Parkway and the Mario M. Cuomo bridge, the Museum is a a perfect “staycation” destination for families, visitors and tourists.

Starting in June, the Museum will be open to the public Fridays, 1-4PM, Saturdays and Sundays 12-5PM, and by appointment during the week.

Parking is available in front and behind the Museum, and is free on Sundays.
