Mission Statement

The Dolgeville-Manheim Historical Society was founded in 1976 as a non-profit service organization whose sole purpose is to promote an awareness of the area’s historical heritage. This Historical Society is the agency through which Dolgeville and Manheim memorabilia may be collected, recorded and preserved. The museum provides the focal point from which these educational services will be accomplished.

History

The Dolgeville-Manheim Historical Society was founded in 1976 and the Absolute Charter was granted by New York State on December 14, 1979. In 1991 the Alfred Dolge Hose Co.

The museum building was placed on the New York State and U.S. National Registry of Historic Places, August 16, 1994.
