Putnam County Historical Society & Foundry School Museum is located at 63 Chestnut Street, Cold Spring NY 10516, Putnam County in the Hudson River Valley. The Putnam County Historical Society was founded in 1906 . . and chartered the next year to be the first historical society in the county.
"In 1960 the society acquired the Foundry School building, which was built in about 1830, enlarged in the 1860s, and used for the education of the foundry's teenage apprentices as well as its employees' children. In 1971, a wing was added to house the society's holdings related to the West Point Foundry. Since the establishment of this museum, the society's members, many of them extraordinarily informed about the history of the Highlands and the county, have continued to dedicate their time and talents as docents, researchers, and educators.
"Today, the organization is known as The Putnam County Historical Society & Foundry School Museum (PCHS–FSM) . . . The purpose of the society is to collect, preserve, and present to the public historical and cultural materials pertaining to Putnam County, especially the Philipstown area, the West Point Foundry, and the Hudson Highlands . . . The museum organizes changing exhibitions, with accompanying catalogues, and provides educational programming for the public."
