Warren County Historical Society

The Warren County Historical Society was chartered in 1997 by the New York Education Department for the collection, preservation, and promotion of the heritage of Warren County. The Society is developing a library and has long range plans for a museum for historical research, providing a place to gather, preserve, and display artifacts, books, manuscripts, papers, photographs and other records and materials relating to the history of the Warren County region and New York State. The current headquarters of the Society is located in the historical old Queensbury Fire Hall at 195 Sunnyside Rd, Queensbury, NY 12804. The Society is a nonprofit membership organization funded through memberships, donations, gifts and grants. Governed by a 19 member Board of Trustees, its activities are carried out entirely by volunteers. The Society has 501 (C)3 tax exempt status and New York State sales tax exemption.
