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.

HELP US
PRESERVE
THE THOMAS PAINE HOMESTEAD 
The LAST standing building that Paine called home in America.
Since 1908, the HNRHA, administrators of
the historic home Museum, has relied on the generosity of
members, benefactors & people like you
to keep this historical treasure open.
Currently receiving no federal funding
for operating expenses.
It is our honor to preserve this historical home first owned by Huguenot loyalists & then by Founding Father Thomas Paine.  Join us in our mission to maintain a piece of local and national history for generations to come.
"What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value"
