The Washington County Historical Society is an educational organization dedicated to promoting public interest and participation in the preservation of the rich cultural heritage of Washington County, NY.

Headquartered in the historic Wing-Northup house we maintain  the Heritage Research Library, a repository for regional books, written documents, genealogical information, and memorabilia. All sales in our society bookshop go toward the continuation of our mission.

Lectures, workshops, tours and social events are scheduled throughout the year.

The Wing Northup House Library and Bookshop are open 9:30-4:30 on Wednesdays and Fridays.
