Penfield Homestead Museum

Penfield Homestead Museum is located in the Adirondacks of New York State in Crown Point NY.  

We have for over 60 years been the stewards of over 500 acres of land and six 19th century buildings. The hamlet of Ironville was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 as the "Birthplace of the Electrical Age".

We are open mid-June to mid-October annually on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 11am – 3pm. We welcome research and genealogy appointments in season. Penfield Pond is available for canoeing, kayaking and fishing with permit.

Our mission is "Crown Point – People and History".  The educational programs include historic walking tours of the manufacturing complex of Crown Point Iron Company and Railroad and interactive tours of the Homestead and agricultural buildings.
