The Williamson-Pultneyville Historical Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit all-volunteer organization. Located in the historic district in the hamlet of Pultneyville, New York.
The Society owns and manages three properties –
The W-PHS house at 4130 Mill Street,

Centennial Park in the center of the hamlet.
The Society house features both permanent and revolving exhibits and extensive archives and is open to the public weekends mid-June through mid-October and by special appointment November-May.
