Square House Museum

Join us on July 15th for our next Square House Book Club moderated by local resident and author Lee Sanford. This month's meeting will be in-person; the book selection is It Girl by New York Times best-selling author Allison Pataki. This fascinating historical fiction novel is based on the life of Evelyn Nesbit, America's first "It Girl", a model and actress who became a self-made celebrity in early 20th century New York City. To facilitate a lively and engaging discussion, questions can be submitted prior to the meeting and Pataki will be pre-recording answers to select questions for our attendees. Wine and cheese will be served. This program is free, registration is required.

About The Rye Historical Society

The Rye Historical Society was founded in 1964 by a group of concerned citizens who banded together to preserve, restore and protect the Square House, an 18th century inn located on the Village Green in Rye.

After faithfully restoring the Square House, the Society has maintained it as a house museum. In 1980, Rye History received accreditation from the American Alliance of Museums. The Society acquired the Timothy Knapp House, Westchester County’s oldest surviving house, in 1992, restoring and opening it to the public in 2001 as an archival and research center.

The Society continues to serve the community through school visits and programs, vacation and summer programs, lectures, exhibits, walking tours and numerous family and community events throughout the year.
