Hart Cluett Museum We enrich the present and advocate for the future by bringing the region’s past to life, recognizing every face and every story.

Hart Cluett Museum Historic Rensselaer County enriches the present and advocates for the future by bringing the region's past to life, recognizing every face and every story. The Rensselaer County Historical Society and Museum is a dynamic not-for-profit educational organization established in 1927 to connect local history and heritage with contemporary life. In pursuit of this mission, we collect, preserve, study, interpret and make accessible a broad variety of objects and documents, and conduct educational programs to inspire public enthusiasm for the past. Situated in the downtown Second Street Historic District in Troy, New York, the museum fulfills its mission from two adjacent 19th century townhouses — the historic and architecturally significant Hart-Cluett House, which serves as a house museum, and the Carr Building, which houses exhibits, programs, and a research library.
