The Louis Miller Museum was established in 1982 by the Hoosick Township Historical Society. The museum is devoted to the preservation of materials related to the rich history of the Town of Hoosick. There are two floors of exhibits and displays on such topics as the Battle of Bennington, Grandma Moses, and hometown boys Bob and Ray Eberle, who were stars of the Big Band Era. The museum has an extensive collection of materials about the Walter A. Wood Mowing and Reaping Machine Company (1852-1923), a company that could be called the John Deere of the horse-drawn era. The extensive works of the company were located next to the falls in Hoosick Falls, and were the basis of the prosperity that Hoosick Falls enjoyed at the turn of the century.
The Miller museum is funded primarily by private donations. The Historical Society is a non-profit organization and all donations are tax deductible. It is open on Monday and Tuesday afternoons from 1 to 4 pm or by appointment. There is no admission charge.
