Have you ever wondered about the history of industry in our village? Where were the first factories located? What exactly used to be on the now mostly empty waterfront?

Come find out! Our new exhibit, Made in Hastings: Echoes of Our Industrial Past, delves into our village’s rich industrial heritage.

Visitors can learn about the early water wheels in the ravine behind today’s James V. Harmon Community Center, the establishment and closure of the marble quarry just east of the Old Croton Aqueduct, and the larger factories that later developed along the Hudson River
