Binghamton Township Historical Society

About Our Museum

Tours available by appointment only. Contact our officers to arrange a tour.

Within the museum is an eclectic assortment of artifacts covering all phases of earlier life in our town, including the old telephone system, one-room schoolhouses, farm tools, license plates, antique bottles and crocks, dolls, kitchen utensils, furniture, and quilts, to name just a few. We also have some oral histories of older (many deceased) members of our township. We are working to make these available at the museum for study by anyone who has an interest.

BTHS also opens the museum for special community events such as our annual meeting and covered dish luncheon in September, Memorial Day, and the NYS Path Through History Weekend.
