Museum Pass Program
Did you know that even though many museums are closed you can still visit them online?
To enjoy some virtual museum tours click here Enjoy!
The Goshen Public Library & Historical Society and the Friends of the Goshen Library have purchased memberships to a number of area museums for your enjoyment. The museum passes, most of which are family memberships, can be borrowed by Goshen card holders age 18 and older whose library accounts are in good standing.
Some of the passes have been allowed to expire for the time being due to concerns regarding group gatherings. However, the Goshen Public Library & Historical Society has several active memberships which our patrons can enjoy and which can currently be borrowed for a 7-day period. The extended loan period is to allow for advanced ticketing which is required at some sites. The passes available all offer at least some outdoor experience for the visitor. You may need to check with the individual site regarding admission polices.
Current passes include:
- (2) Hudson Highlands Nature Museum
- (1) Boscobel House & Gardens
- (1) The Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum
- (1) Museum at Bethel Woods
- (2) Storm King Art Center
- (2) Guggenheim Museum
- NEW Hudson River Maritime Museum
Click here to check the availability of Museum Passes (only Goshen holdings are available to Goshen borrowers).
You may also call 294-6606 ext. 100 for further information.
Mohonk Preserve PARK PASSES are now available!
