Welcome to the Town of Webb Historical Association
and the Goodsell Museum
Goodsell Museum Hours: Tuesday - Saturday 10 AM - 3 PM or by appointment: 315.369.3838
The Town of Webb is a premier travel destination in the heart of the Fulton Chain of Lakes district along the Moose River in New York's beautiful six-million-acre Adirondack State Park. The Town of Webb Historical Association (TOWHA) preserves our region's rich history and shares our stories.
In 1995, TOWHA inherited the Robert Goodsell property on Main Street, and began operating the Goodsell Museum a beautiful, restored turn-of-the-century Victorian home and
carriage house, centrally located in the village of Old Forge. The Goodsell Museum has a feature exhibit that changes annually, with additional exhibits updated at whim. We have an extensive and growing research library and we provide educational and recreational opportunities for all ages throughout the year.
Admission is free and we are open year-round!
