The Garden City Historical Society

We are a nonprofit museum dedicated to raising awareness about the history of the Village of Garden C

Founded in 1975, The Garden City Historical Society is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization, chartered by the New York State Education Department. It is dedicated to preserving the historic character and ambiance of the Village of Garden City, and educating its members and the public in preservation and history related matters. The Society owns and operates The Garden City Historical Society Museum, an original 1872 A.T. Stewart-era Victorian structure, as well as a gift shop and a consignment shop—the A.T. Stewart Exchange (516-746-8900)—on the lower level of the Museum. The Society’s Archives includes over 1,200 artifacts pertaining to the Village and its immediate surrounding communities. The Society offers periodic lectures and presentations, publishes a newsletter, and maintains an Historic Structure Survey of pre-1935 residential and non-residential structures in the Village of Garden City.
