Details

The Reher Center for Immigrant Culture and History is a museum and cultural center dedicated to Hudson Valley immigrant experiences of the past and present. Located in Kingston's Rondout neighborhood, the Reher Center is housed within two rare, intact 19th-century buildings that were once home to Reher’s Bakery. For nearly a century, two generations of the Jewish immigrant Reher family ran a bakery from the storefront of 101 Broadway and lived upstairs. Kingston residents of the surrounding Rondout neighborhood, mostly working class and immigrant, came to Reher’s for bread, canned goods, and gossip. Today, the site is a museum and cultural center that preserves and honors the legacy of Reher's Bakery through amplifying immigrant stories of the Hudson Valley, past and present. Visitors can explore a step back in time to 1959 in Historic Reher’s Bakery, explore innovative exhibitions in the gallery, and learn something new at unique public programs.
