About Schuyler County Historical Society

The society in Montour Falls, in New York's Finger Lakes region near Watkins Glen, runs four properties. Its headquarters is the Brick Tavern Museum, an 1828 Federal-style building, and the adjacent Wickham Rural Life Center holds exhibits on county life. Its collections of artifacts, books, and documents suit genealogists and researchers. Other sites include the Lee School Museum, a one-room schoolhouse, and the Lawrence Chapel, which is available seasonally. Renovations to the Brick Tavern Museum began in late 2025.
