Museum official Opening Day to members and the general public took place this year on Sunday, June 13th at 2 p.m.


The program featured Hudson River related industries with a concentrated focus on the former Fleischmann/Standard Brands factory that operated at Peekskill from 1900 to 1977. This facility was the largest yeast production factory complex in the world and made several industrial innovations.

We had asked if those with inside knowledge of the Fleischmann operations to contact us with their information or materials for display. Also, at that time we were interested in contacting people who once worked there for their personal stories. If at this time, anyone is willing to contribute their stories, we welcome them by contacting our City historian, directly by calling our hotline number 914-736-0473 and leaving a message. Someone will get back to you soon. Thank you.
