PRESERVING THE HISTORY & CULTURE OF

Slate Quarrying

Collect • Preserve • Share

The Slate Valley Museum celebrates the history and culture of the quarrying community that was established along the New York-Vermont border in the 1800s. Many Slate quarries are still in operation, producing most of the colored roofing slate in the United States today. 

We offer an exciting range of programs, exhibitions, and special events that share its mission to collect, preserve and share the history of slate quarrying and the quarrying community.
