Dutchess County Historical Society, located in Rhinebeck, New York, was formed in Pleasant Valley, New York May 26, 1914 and received its Charter from the Regents of the University of the State of New York in 1918.[1][2][a] Its mission is to discover, preserve and share the local area's history and artifacts from the time of its earliest people to the present.[5]
The Society's collection of documents and objects are maintained in Rhinebeck, New York where in additions to archives, it has offices and two non-circulating libraries. It publishes an annual Yearbook, and occasionally publishes other books and pamphlets. The organization grants awards of merit and distinction each year. It conducts outreach programs that range from talks to demonstrations to workshops, and it collaborates with educational institutions and many other historic organizations and individuals in Dutchess County.
The Historical Society is funded through membership dues, the sales of its Yearbook and publications, solicitation of grants, and through philanthropic gifts and is a US tax exempt Charitable Organization.[6]
