Our museum grounds were once the site of huge botanical gardens and greenhouses owned by the Stevens families.
Visitors far and wide from all over New York State and more would travel to see the exotic plants and amazing Victorian gardens here.
About Us
The Attica Historical Society of Wyoming County, New York,
was founded in November of 1937 by Miss Marion Stevens.
Miss Stevens used the original parlor of Judge Alden Stevens’
house (photo) to store and display artifacts. In 1951 the Stevens
family donated both the parlor and the land for an addition
to the Attica Historical Society to be used as a museum.
The parlor was moved to its current site, facing Main Street.
Later additions were made with the most recent one
occurring in 1994. The museum is filled with a varied
collection of objects that relate to the Attica area and cover
over a century of time. All objects in the collection have been
donated by local families and interested persons.
