About this property

The Claverack Free Library is located on NY 23B near the center of the hamlet of Claverack-Red Mills, New York, United States. It is located in the renovated former A.B. Shaw Firehouse. The library itself formally dates to 1891. It had been in several buildings before the expansion of nearby NY 9H forced it to move a short distance west to its current building. In 1998 the library building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Claverack Free Library is one of the eleven Columbia County public libraries that allow free museum pass requests through their website.
