Walden & the Wallkill Valley since 1958.

The Jacob T. Walden House


The Society is a nonprofit organization devoted to the preservation of
local history and is chartered by the State of New York.

Come Home to the Walden House!

Welcome to the rich history of the Jacob T. Walden House located in Walden,
Town of Montgomery, Orange County, NY (
part of Ulster County until 1798).

The stone house & museum is located at 34 North Montgomery Street, Walden, NY
( PO Box 48, Walden, New York 12586 )


The Historical Society members and Trustees are the sole caretakers of
the Jacob T. Walden House and the 1910 Shafer House Museum
s.
We are an all-volunteer organization and
not publicly funded.
All of our abilities to preserve local history come from donations
from the community and Volunteer Members. We Thank You!!



Our Mission Statement:

The Mission of the Historical Society of Walden and the Wallkill Valley
is to preserve the Jacob T. Walden House, collect items related to
Walden and the
Wallkill Valley, and to advance public knowledge of our history, past and present.

The old stone house, former home of Jacob T. Walden and now the home of the Historical Society of Walden and the Wallkill Valley, has undergone many updates, repairs and restoration projects since the building was purchased by a group of concerned Waldenites in 1958. The Historical Society formed the same year.
