The Brewster Historical Society

The Brewster Historical Society was established more than forty years ago to “create and foster an interest in the history of the Town of Brewster; to promote historical research; to preserve historic structures; to collect and preserve documents and artifacts, and to provide for their custody”.
~ This quote is from the Society's Bylaws established in 1964.


The MUSEUM in a mid-19th century homestead, located at 3171 Main Street (Route 6A - East Brewster), houses four permanent galleries, a special exhibits gallery and archives which are available to researchers, by appointment, during the winter months.	The HIGGINS FARM WINDMILL and the HARRIS-BLACK HOUSE are restored 18th century structures located at the Drummer Boy Park, Route 6A in West Brewster.
