Warwick, NY – The Warwick Historical Society invites the community to celebrate its 119th birthday with a special open house on Sunday, April 6, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. This free event offers a rare opportunity to explore several of Warwick’s most treasured historic properties and learn more about the Society’s work in preserving local history.
Have you ever wanted to step inside The Meeting House, visit Warwick’s oldest residence, The Shingle House, or tour the beautifully recreated 1810 Ketchum House? Now is your chance! Volunteer docents will be on hand at each location to share fascinating stories and historical insights about these remarkable sites.
Start your journey at the A.W. Buckbee Events Center, where guests can pick up maps of the open properties, enjoy complimentary refreshments, and meet members of the Society’s Board and staff. Learn about volunteer opportunities, membership, and the important work of preserving Warwick’s history for future generations.
Don’t miss this unique chance to experience the past firsthand! Mark your calendars and celebrate 119 years of preserving, sharing and celebrating Warwick’s history with us.

Warwick Rod & Gun Club will stock approximately 400 trout in the small lake that’s part of the Baird Farm on Baird Lane in Warwick, NY. This annual event awards a prize to each participant, regardless of whether or not s/he caught a fish, which include fishing rod and reel combos, tackle boxes, lures and other outdoor recreation items.
The event is supported by many area businesses and community organizations who donate funds and prizes for the day.

This year, the Warwick Historical Society celebrates its 120th Anniversary, and for the first time in many years, our annual Open House falls on our actual birthday — Sunday, April 19. It makes the occasion especially meaningful, and we would love your help in making it a success.
Like last year, from 1:00–4:00 PM, we will open our properties to the public and are seeking volunteer docents to staff each location. Shifts will be divided into:
- 1:00–2:30 PM
- 2:30–4:00 PM
You are welcome to take one shift and explore the other properties on the other half (or do both, if you’re feeling festive!).
To engage our younger residents this year, we are launching a TIME TRAVELERS PASSPORT PROGRAM, made possible in part by a grant from the Warwick Savings Foundation. Children ages 10 and under can pick up a WHS “passport” at Buckbee and must visit each open property to receive a stamp from the docent after answering a simple question about the site. Once they’ve collected all the stamps, they will return to the Buckbee to show their completed passport and select a prize.
This initiative is a wonderful way to engage children while also encouraging families to explore and get involved in all that the Warwick Historical Society has to offer.
If you are available to docent, please reply with your preferred shift time or if you can do either. Participants will receive docent notes at the beginning of April to review and I will have printed copies onsite.
We truly appreciate your support and hope you’ll join us for this special day.
