The Yonkers Historical Society was founded in 1952 with early incarnations dating back as early as 1877. It is dedicated to preserving the rich and deep history of the City of Yonkers, NY. We are patrons of an extensive archive of local history, but also preservers of the historic Sherwood House Museum, one of the oldest buildings in Westchester County and a National Historic landmark.

​Visit us at our office in the Grinton I. Will Branch of the Yonkers Public Library on Central Park Avenue on Thursdays from 1 - 5 PM or at Sherwood House on Tuckahoe Road on Sundays in the Spring and Fall. Either way, you will discover the many wonders of Yonkers History.
