The N-AHS museum will be re-opening on Saturday, July 18th and every Saturday thereafter, from 1:00 to 3:00. We will open following New York State guidelines, which are some of the best in the nation, and probably even more stringent than what is necessary for our small museum. Our outlook is for you to have a safe, enjoyable experience, discovering or even re-discovering the fascinating aspects of Arcadia’s past.
We will be requiring that visitors wear face coverings while in the building, and we will provide masks for those who need them. Hand sanitizer will be available and we have mapped a path through the building that will allow for the greatest space between visitors. The building will have been cleaned before your arrival and spot cleaned as the afternoon goes on.
We ask that you not visit if, in the past 14 days, you have tested positive for Covid-19 or have exhibited any symptoms during that period.
The 2019-20 exhibit, “Hometown Grown: 200 Years of Agriculture”, continues, filling much of the front room. Permanent exhibits include the Erie Canal, Sarah Coventry &Â Emmons Jewelry, Jackson & Perkins Rose Co., the Fox Sisters, photos of downtown Newark (1870s-1970s, including some great aerials), Bloomer Bros. Co., and much more.
The museum has a research room and a gift shop. We ask that gift shop purchases be made by check if possible. We hope to see you soon.
