Anderson Falls Heritage Society (AFHS) is a volunteer-powered organization dedicated to preserving our hometown heritage as a legacy for the future. Our mission is to preserve, display, and make available to the public, historical materials and artifacts for the purpose of educating students, visitors and the general public. The Society’s home is in a late 1830s Greek Revival building in the Historic District of the hamlet of Keeseville.
Services include educational programs, research archives (documents, maps, newspapers, and images for historical and genealogical research), and operates the Heritage House Museum (local history interpreted by exhibits & artifacts).
AFHS welcomes and gratefully accepts donations to its holdings of artifacts, images, maps, documents, and ephemera pertinent to the history of the towns of Ausable and Chesterfield.
Anderson Falls Heritage Society was organized in 1980 and received its Absolute Charter in 1998. AFHS first opened its doors to the public in 1984, located in the Keeseville Civic Center and remained there until 2010. Anderson Falls Heritage Society received its 501c-3 designation in spring 2011. On September 22, 2012 it re-opened its doors at its current location, 96 Clinton Street, Keeseville, New York.
