Museum Refresh Underway

Visitors to the John Kane House, the site of Pawling's community history museum, will soon have a deeper view into Pawling's early history. The Historical Society of Quaker Hill and Pawling, which operates the museum, is working with museum curator Kathy Craughwell-Varda to prepare two new permanent exhibits on the settlement of Pawling and the Revolutionary War. Among the new highlights will be an in-depth profile of the Kane family, which owned the site of the museum when George Washington used it as his headquarters from September to December 1778.

​The Historical Society will debut its new exhibits to the public in late May. Those interested in volunteering as weekend tour guides should email the Historical Society at pawlinghistory@gmail.com.
