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.
