Hanford Mills Museum – A Piece of History in Meredith, NY

Experience a story of innovation, ingenuity and entrepreneurship at a historic working mill site. Sheltered in a valley in the northwestern Catskills of New York, Hanford Mills Museum offers insights into the past and lessons about the relationships between people, the things they make, and the places they live.

 

The Museum and mill site is currently closed for the season. Learn more about our story, explore our collections and resources, or participate in an off-site program until we see you in May 2023.

 

Our 2023 Ice Harvest took place Friday afternoon (noon-4pm) and Saturday (10am-3pm), February 10 and 11! For more information, click here to visit our Ice Harvest webpage.
