SOCIALLY DISTANT PROGRAMMING for 2020 - follow our Facebook posts, or take one of our walks - honoring our local veterans and suffragists or to learn the histories of downtown buildings. Find information on our Events page.

The Arcade Historical Society's two buildings - the Gibby House and the Old Fire Hall -
are closed until further notice due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This also means events we had scheduled are canceled until public gatherings can happen again. We will post fun history stories on our Facebook page and use that forum and this website to let you know when we will be opening up again.
Stay safe and healthy while we are making history every day!

Learn more about the local, rural history in and around Arcade, New York at the Arcade Historical Society, located next to the Pioneer Arcade Elementary School on West Main Street. The Society was formed in 1957 for the 150th anniversary of the settlement of the town and collects and preserves objects and materials that illustrate the history of the town of Arcade and the surrounding area.
