From the humble beginnings of the brick industry in the 18th century to the explosion of brickmaking in the 19th century and the end of the era in the 20th century, the Haverstraw Brick Museum, Center for Historic Preservation, presents a quintessential story of American industry.

Join us for a trip through the centuries to explore Haverstraw's long tradition of brickmaking. During this guided virtual tour of new exhibitions at the reopened museum, Acting Director Rachel Whitlow showcases displays illustrating the components and conditions of the brickmaking business, as well as a timeline chronicle drawn from the museum's archives of Haverstraw’s historic past and significant contributions to the building of New York State from the 1600s to the 1940s.

The exhibitions tackle themes such as how industries can define who we are and how we can learn from the past to provide a better future. The virtual gallery tour will be followed by a brief Q&A with Brick Museum and Historical Society staff.

This program is co-produced by the Historical Society of Rockland County and the Haverstraw Brick Museum, Center for Historic Preservation. Donations are welcome and benefit both organizations.
