The Association was established during the community's Sesquicentennial celebration of 1981 for the purpose of collecting materials and artifacts pertaining to the history and development of the Allegany area. The Education Department of the University of the State of New York granted an Absolute Charter on December 10, 1987.

Spirit Hunters will be presenting a program at the Heritage Center on Sunday, April 16, 2023, at 2 PM.  Come and join us.
We will be open the following Saturdays during 2023 from 10 AM until 1 PM:  May 20th, June 17th, July 15th, August 5th, September 16th, and October 21st.  Feel free to stop in if you need to do family research or to see our displays.  We now have Internet access at the Heritage Center so we can help you with online research.
You can message us on our FACEBOOK PAGE or E-MAIL US for an appointment if you would like to come at a different time.



​We are also looking to put together a phone list of people interested in helping, when needed, to clean the center, file materials, and other necessary things that need to be done to keep us going. Contact us at Alleganyheritagecenter@gmail.com to let us know if you would be able to join in this effort.

​The Association's permanent meeting site and shelter for historical artifacts is in the former United Methodist Church located at 25 N. Second Street in the village of Allegany. The church, a local historical landmark, was constructed in 1855 by the Methodist Episcopal Congregation, one of the earliest religious societies in the village. The Association now owns the building. The layout of the church has been preserved, including the original pews and pulpit.
