Pember Museum of Natural History

The mission of the Pember Museum is to inspire wonder, discovery, and responsibility for our natural world and to better understand our place in it.

The Pember Library & Museum was established in Granville, NY in 1909 by Franklin Pember, showcasing taxidermy specimens of birds & mammals along with bird eggs, seashells, insects, rocks & minerals. Walk up the stairs from the library into 1909. The museum is exactly as it was when it opened. Artifacts, animals, birds, eggs, insects from around the world all collected and assembled in a Victorian open storage display. Some of the exhibits are changed periodically. The museum has free admission.
