1830 Hugh White Homestead, home
of the Waterford Museum
The Waterford Historical Museum and Cultural Center is
located in the 1830 Hugh White Homestead. In 1964, this Greek Revival
mansion was scheduled for demolition. However, a group of citizens
rallied to save the house and move it from Saratoga Avenue to its
present location overlooking the Mohawk River and the old Champlain
Canal.
The Museum features a permanent exhibition about the history of
Waterford, temporary exhibitions related to local history, two Victorian
period rooms, and the George and Annabel O'Connor Library for Local
History.
Group from the Waterford Senior Center visit the museum.
