Wedding-Holding Hands

Old Austerlitz is home to the Austerlitz Historical Society.  The Society, organized in 1988, celebrates the heritage and rural beauty of Austerlitz, New York.  The bucolic grounds are perfectly suited for your country wedding or other private event.  Our historic buildings dating from the 1790’s to the early 1800’s will provide the backdrop for your special day, from our interfaith Country Church to an old fashioned one-room Schoolhouse.  The 1794 Morey-Devereaux House is appointed with fine furnishings and decor to take you back in time to the days of a simpler life.  We are close to the Berkshires of Massachusetts, the Capital Region of New York and the spectacular Hudson Valley, and a short 2-hour drive from Manhattan or 3-hour drive from Boston.
