2025 at Paine's Homestead
In 1908 the Huguenot & New Rochelle Historical Assn. saved Thomas Paine’s homestead from demolition. July 14, 1910, a fully restored Cottage opened to the public as an historic home museum. Come celebrate 115 years of history when we reopen this summer at the Thomas Paine Cottage Museum. Opening details will be posted on social media and on our website.
