Little Falls Historical Society & Museum

Little Falls Historical Society & Museum keeps the story of Little Falls, a Mohawk River city in Herkimer County, on display for visitors and residents. The museum invites people into the past through the local stories and objects it has gathered. Local history museums are where a town’s old photographs, objects and stories are kept for the next generation.

Little Falls grew up around the falls of the Mohawk River and the Erie Canal, and that setting shaped the people, industries and buildings the museum covers. It’s a good first stop for anyone who wants to understand how the city came to be.
