Pulaski Historical Society

Welcome to the Pulaski Historical Society, a cherished museum and tourist attraction located at 3428 Maple Avenue, Pulaski, New York. Established in May 1980 by a group of dedicated local citizens, the Society has grown from humble beginnings, with meetings initially held in the Pulaski Library and the Oswego County Savings Bank basement, to a vibrant institution preserving the rich heritage of Pulaski and its surrounding areas.

Our journey began with the donation of a small house on Park Street in 1985, which was transformed into our first museum space. In 1989, we moved to our current location, the historic site of the original Snow home, thanks to the generosity of the Snow Memorial Trust. This building, once home to the Benjamin Snow family, original settlers of Pulaski, now houses an extensive collection of artifacts and archival materials that tell the story of our community’s past.

Visitors to the museum can explore our Carriage House, which showcases the agricultural and industrial history of the region, as well as the evolution of local retail businesses. In 2013, we expanded the Carriage House to further enhance our exhibitions. The museum also features a large meeting room with a kitchen, ideal for our engaging Programs and Brown Bag Lunches.

In 2015, we added a Storage Shed to accommodate additional exhibits and artifacts, ensuring that our historical treasures are preserved for future generations. Our facility on Maple Avenue serves not only as a museum but also as a hub for research, administration, and community gatherings.

We invite you to visit the Pulaski Historical Society to immerse yourself in the fascinating history of Pulaski and its surrounding areas. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a researcher, or simply curious about the past, our museum offers a unique and enriching experience.
