Planning Events and Visiting the Old Stone House
The Old Stone House is open for walk-in visitation for up to 10 people at a time Friday – Sunday from Noon – 4 pm. If we have 10 visitors when you arrive, please wait to enter the museum. Masks and hand sanitizer are required due to the high percentage of visitors under the age of 12 who are largely unvaccinated – OSH will provide them, so you can fully enjoy the exhibit.
As a cultural institution, we abide by the parameters of Key NYC. All OSH staff members are vaccinated. Visitors 12 and older are required to show proof they have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
