Tilly Foster Farm Museum, Museum farm in Brewster, United States.
Tilly Foster Farm Museum is a farm museum in Brewster featuring indoor and outdoor areas with agricultural equipment, vintage tractors, and educational exhibits about farming practices. The site also houses the Avalon Archives, a collection of rock and roll history materials and memorabilia.
The property began as a working farm and later became a site for preserving agricultural heritage and farming history. Management passed from the Preservation Society to Putnam County Government in 2014, shaping how it operates today.
The Avalon Archives Museum section displays rock and roll history through original posters, photographs, paintings, vinyl records, and multimedia collections. This archive captures how popular music shaped daily life and entertainment in America during key decades.
The museum is located on New York State Route 312 and is easily accessible by car from the area. Both indoor and outdoor exhibits mean visitors should plan for time exploring different sections and consider weather when visiting.
The museum brings together two very different collections under one roof: historic farming equipment and an extensive rock and roll archive. This unusual pairing happened because both preservation efforts found a home at this same location.
