About Hurley Heritage Museum

The Hurley Heritage Museum is housed in the Colonel Jonathan Elmendorf House on Main Street in Hurley. Its exhibits cover the village's Dutch founding in the 1660s, its role during the Revolutionary War, and the Lenape and Esopus peoples who lived in the area. A temporary exhibit marks the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution by telling the stories of many Hurley residents during the war years. Another exhibit covers the Wynkoop farmstead and the artists who painted there, including a link to Winslow Homer. The museum is open on weekend afternoons during its seasonal schedule.
