About Black River Academy Museum

The museum is run by the Black River Academy Museum and Historical Society. Its exhibits spread across three floors and cover the past of Ludlow, with attention to the academy that gave the museum its name. The site also lists famous alumni and hosts community events such as an annual member dinner. The museum is currently closed for the season and plans to reopen in spring 2027, and office staff ask visitors to call for appointments in the meantime.
