About

The Horseheads Historical Society was established to preserve the history of our village. Our facilities are in two locations, the museum at the Depot on Broad Street and the Zim Home on Pine Street. The home was designed and built by Eugene Zimmerman and his father in law. “Zim” a renowned political cartoonist in the 1800’s who married a local girl and settled in our community. The Bandstand in Teal Park was also designed and built by “Zim” and his father-in-law. At the time Zim organized a band, known as The Zim band and played concerts in the park. This tradition continues to this day in the summer months.
