Description
The Fulton County Historical Society (FCHS) is a 501(c)3 non-profit, established in 1891. The FCHS received its absolute charter from the New York State Board of Regents on April 28, 1972.
The museum is housed in the former Kingsboro school building, built in 1900 on the site of the Kingsboro Academy. Permanent exhibits explore our community’s educational history, glove and leather heritage, military service, civic organizations, businesses, FJ&G Railroad, sports history, and more.
Through interactive and innovative programs and events for all ages, the FCHS encourages exploration of our past and actively participates in our community’s efforts to create a vibrant center of arts, culture, and commerce to improve quality of life in our county.
