Walter Elwood Museum
Amsterdam, New York

Children's, General, History, Library

The museum collection is housed in a 100-year old brick building which formerly served as an elementary school. Our extensive assortment of approximately 25,000 artifacts fall into four categories: multicultural, Victorian, natural history, and items that relate to Mohawk Valley's colorful industrial past (documentary, photographic and tangible).
The Museum's collections are eclectic and diverse. In addition to "DISCOVERY!" other permanent exhibits include "A Complicated Weave: the influence of factories on the community", a Victorian Exhibit, and a Natural History exhibit. We are always developing new offerings as well as temporary exhibits by local artists.
