Posting of an event on this board does not signify the official approval or participation of the Bergen County Historical Society, a non-profit, 501(c)(3) volunteer organization, founded in 1902. We are not an agency of County government and do not receive any public operating support or grants.
The Bergen County Historical Society is the only historical association with a countywide membership base, dedicated to a full-spectrum storyline and timeline for the region as a whole. We seek to sustain and increase the study and presentation of historical topics relevant geographically and culturally from North Arlington to Mahwah. The Society has a century-long track record of prestigious contributions to the preservation of historic Bergen County. Our perennial schedule of activities reflects a broad range of historical interests and perspectives, which we continually try to adapt to new media and opportunities, hoping to connect with new and ever more diverse audiences. An ambitious offering of living history demonstrations, educational public programs, publications, roundtable discussions and lectures, combined with the ongoing the presentation of our museum and library collections, daily increases the body of knowledge of Bergen County history, making a varied and unique body of our historic record tangibly available to the broadest possible audience.
If you are not already a member, we invite you to join us and support preservation and appreciation of the invaluable lessons of our History.
