Garden City Historical Society

Founded in 1975, The Garden City Historical Society (the “Society”) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, chartered by the New York State Board of Regents. 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, housed in an original 1872 A.T. Stewart-era Victorian structure, as well as a gift shop and a consignment shop — the A.T. Stewart Exchange — on the lower level of the Museum.

The Society’s collection includes objects and archival material pertaining to the Village and its immediate surrounding communities. The Society offers periodic lectures and presentations and maintains an Historic Structure Survey of pre-1935 residential and non-residential structures in the Village of Garden City. The society also maintains a collection of period objects from the mid-nineteenth century through the early 20th century.
