COVID-19 and our Museum: We’ve re-opened to visitors.
Friends of the Museum: We’re happy to announce that our Museum has now re-opened to visitors!
Please see our new hours and days listed below.
In compliance with the New York State’s Pause COVID-19 declarations, OCHS has taken steps to make sure we comply with all State and CDC guidelines for re-opening, so that we can assure – to the best of our ability — that our visitors and staff are safe and comfortable in our museum.
Each re-opening business or organization must develop a written Safety Plan outlining how its workplace will prevent the spread of COVID-19. Our new rules and protocols will depend on the mandates from Governor Cuomo and CDC, but we are able to open fully for visits to our exhibitions, art show, and scheduled research.
All visitors must wear masks inside the building. If you don’t have a mask, we have free masks to give to you. We’ve missed you and hope to see you soon. Stay safe and well.
