Welcome to the Hastings Historical Society. We have been chronicling the history of the village of Hastings-on-Hudson, NY since 1971. We are open Monday and Thursday from 11am–2pm and the 1st Saturday of every month, Sept through June, from 2–4pm. To become a member click HERE.

The Clark Commemoration Project Drs. Mamie and Kenneth Clark were Black psychologists who lived in Hastings for decades. They are best known for their “doll tests,” which were influential exhibits in the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision that desegregated our nation’s public schools. Given the upcoming 70th anniversary of this groundbreaking decision, we’ve initiated a project to commemorate the Clarks’ accomplishments. Click HERE to view past events and plans for 2024 related to this project.
