Organization Description

The Historical Society of Whitehall was formed in 1911 and after years of inactivity, was reactivated in 1951. In 1959 a museum was created in an unused 1917 Canal terminal as part of the community’s bicentennial celebration. After the 200th Anniversary the Museum continued with the help of a long term lease on the terminal with the State of New York, and with the support, donations, and artifacts from the people of the community. The Museum is open from June to October to help our visitors learn of the Birthplace of the US Navy.
