THE BORSCHT BELT MUSEUM * BorschtBeltMuseum.org The Borscht Belt Museum's home is at 90 Canal Street, in Ellenville, N.Y. The museum building is a glorious Neo-Georgian gem built in 1928 for the Home National Bank.
For more than a half-century, the bank helped nurture hundreds of local hoteliers and bungalow colony owners whose ambitions, grit, and self-sacrifice defined the resort era. The Borscht Belt Museum will illuminate and celebrate the golden age of the Catskills resort era, when millions of urban dwellers sought refuge in the mountains of upstate New York, leaving deep imprints on mainstream American culture, from stand-up comedy and comfort food to mid-century modern design and popular concepts of leisure.
The permanent museum will open in 2025.
