1804 Fellows

1804 Fellows, named to honor the year that New-York Historical Society was founded, are friends and members who have made a commitment to the future of this institution by including New-York Historical in their estate plans, typically through a bequest. This support will allow us to engage the public in meaningful historical learning for generations to come.

There are no dues or fees associated with being an 1804 Fellow and as an 1804 Fellow you will receive invitations to exclusive events at the New-York Historical Society. Most importantly, 1804 Fellows know they are ensuring the New-York Historical Society’s standard of excellence for future generations, while leaving a personal legacy of generosity.
