The Haverstraw Brick Museum, located at 12 Main Street in Haverstraw, New York, is a unique institution that celebrates the rich history and cultural heritage of the local community. The museum showcases the interconnectedness of historical processes with local identity and traditions through the work of internationally known artist, James Tyler. Tyler's colossal head sculptures, constructed using found bricks from the Haverstraw brickyards, pay homage to the untold stories of the workers in the local brick manufacturing tradition. The museum also features sculptures by OP.AL Architects Jonathan A. Scelsa and landscape architect Jennifer Birkland, with special thanks to Pratt School of Architecture and museum interns Jemma Liu and Jessica Jou Lin. Although the Spring Family Days have ended, the museum will be back in the fall for visitors to explore and learn about the fascinating history of Haverstraw.
