Brick Tavern Museum - Schuyler County Historical Society — Attraction in Town of Montour

This was truly an unexpected gem of a storehouse, strong with poignancy and all manner of bittersweet memories. The professional upkeep of the museum was top notch, and I was warmly welcomed after introducing myself. It was a joy to know that pictures were/are allowed, but I would love to upload all that I saw today, as it was such an insurmountable and comprehensive place! I was bowled over by the times and seasons changing right before my eyes from room to room, with special attention to certain eras and specifically tailored modifications to others. It presented in parts, a genealogical self guided tour, where you saw the development of technology, domestic life, environment and fashion literally change before your eyes into a riveting spell of surrogate time travel.

As educators, we were encouraged by her enthusiasm and sense of purpose and long range planning. We strongly encourage passing visitors to spend some time here, learn about the area and its rich history and give some support to the county historical society. They're doing a great job. You won't...

An exquisite little museum that we all enjoyed, including our teenager. The staff person was friendly and knowledgeable, graciously opening the museum a few minutes early for us. The rural life display was fun, especially trying to guess some of the items without reading the display sign! We also loved the cuckoo clock and the legend of the sea monster in Seneca Lake. This museum has an impressive collection of local stories and interesting objects, well displayed. Highly recommend. The surrounding town and falls are...
