The Elmendorph has welcomed people for more than 250 years. Today, that spirit continues through open houses, talks, soup and chili nights, workshops, and community gatherings. Last year, Historic Red Hook welcomed over 3,000 visitors through our programs and historic spaces. Your annual appeal gift helps us keep the doors open and the welcome wide.

Flag Day is Sunday, June 14! From our collection: photo of the former Barrytown Post with American flag, dated 1959.
