Rome Historical Society

Rome Historical Society is a local history museum in Rome, built around the idea that there are answers and questions waiting in the city’s past, present and future. It gives residents and visitors a place to dig into the stories behind the community. It is a good first stop for anyone curious about local history.

Rome has plenty of history to explore, from Fort Stanwix to the fact that digging on the Erie Canal began here. A local historical society is the natural place to put those pieces in context, and it is a good stop for history buffs, school groups and longtime locals.
