Agriculture has been an inextricable part of Rockland County’s life since the first humans inhabited the lower Hudson Valley thousands of years ago. The 2025 exhibition, “Home Grown: A History of Farming in Rockland County,” explores key eras of our region’s agricultural history, from Native American “Three Sisters” cultivation through early Dutch settlement and  sustenance farming, the rise of commercial and mechanized techniques in the 19th and 20th centuries, and today’s rebirth of sustainable farming to promote community engagement in suburban Rockland County. The exhibition will run from May through October 2025. Admission is $7 per adult; $3 per child ($FREE for HSRC Members) and includes tours of the historic Jacob Blauvelt Farmhouse on most Sundays afternoons (depending on special programming). Hours are Wednesdays–Fridays & Sundays, 12–4 pm. For information about the exhibition or to schedule a group visit, contact Jennifer Rothschild, Director of Programming, at [email protected]. “Home Grown: A History of Farming in Rockland County” was curated by the Historical Society of Rockland County staff: Ashleigh Malone, Museum Services Manager; Jennifer Rothschild, Director of  Programming; Susan Deeks, Executive Director; and Marianne Leese, Senior  Historian. We thank the Orangetown Historical Museum & Archives for objects on loan to the exhibition. In addition, we’re grateful to HSRC Exhibition Committee volunteers Fr.
