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.
