One of the oldest surviving homes in Upstate NY
Originally built in 1663 by Pieter Bronck—whose family name is linked to the origins of the Bronx in NYC—the historic farmstead offers visitors a rare glimpse into early Dutch colonial life in the Great Northern Catskills.
The Bronck Museum complex consists of the 1663 and 1738 dwellings, a kitchen dependency, a Northern European side-aisle barn, a thirteen-sided hay barn and several Victorian agricultural buildings.
The museum’s rural campus includes a remarkable collection of historic buildings–including the original home and a rare 13-sided barn—one of the earliest surviving examples of its kind in New York State. —as well as exhibits featuring farming equipment, horse-drawn vehicles, regional artifacts, and Greene County history.
Quiet, scenic, and deeply rooted in place, Bronck Museum is an ideal stop for history lovers, architecture enthusiasts, heritage travelers, and anyone curious about the early stories that shaped the Hudson Valley and Catskills region.
