LETS HOPE FOR LUKE & IZZABOO TO ENJOY A TRUE CHRISTMAS MIRACLE A PERMANENT PLACE TO LAY THEIR BEAUTIFUL SNOOTS See more

Fort Decker COVID-19 Update. In order to safeguard our volunteers, members, and the public, we have decided not to open Fort Decker this year. Please keep in mind that while we may not be open, we still have expenses. We depend on your generous support to maintain the buildings and grounds, pay utilities, etc. We look forward to re-opening next spring and hope to see you then.

Due to Covid-19 closures we are still not able to open our Fort Decker Museum on June 27. We hope to reschedule activities once we are given the go ahead. Looking forward to seeing you in the near future. Our archive located in the Port Jervis Free Library can not reopen until the library is able to fully open. If you are planning a research trip to use the archive please contact us before finalizing your plans.
