2026 GCHS Virtual Raffle!

Once again this year's raffle is easier than ever to participate in!

Pay online to buy raffle tickets towards a variety of gift certificates to local businesses. The “virtual” tickets you buy on our website get turned into actual tickets with your name and placed in buckets for the certificates you want! We’ll draw the winners at the GCHS Fundraising Party on November 15 at the Wire Event Center in Coxsackie. If you can’t attend the party we’ll mail the gift certificate to you!

Every batch of tickets you buy goes directly to benefit the work we do here at the Greene County Historical Society.

Join the Greene County Historical Society for an afternoon of history and hors d’oeuvres as we raise funds to help preserve and protect the architectural heritage of the Bronck Museum.

We are excited to share that the Greene County Historical Society (GCHS) has been awarded a generous $887,000 matching grant from the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) to complete the interior of the Meadow Ridge Heritage Barn.

In the summer of 2017, GCHS acquired an original 19th-century hay barn that stood along Route 81 in Coxsackie, several miles from our headquarters at the Bronck Museum. The barn was carefully disassembled, relocated to our campus, and reconstructed on the site of a historic hay barn that once stood there. When completed, the Meadow Ridge Heritage Barn will provide a beautiful, multi-purpose venue for the Society's educational programs, community events, and special gatherings.

Because this is a matching grant, every dollar we raise will help unlock the full grant award. We are seeking your support to help us meet this goal and bring us one step closer to completing this exciting project.

To help raise the required matching funds, we will host Echoes of the Past, History & Hors d'oeuvres on Sunday, November 15, 2026, from 1:00–4:00 p.m. at The Wire in Coxsackie, New York. The afternoon will feature a light lunch catered by Che Figata, presentation by Coxsackie Town Historian Michael Rausch, live music from Luke Barnhart, raffles and a live auction.
