The Montgomery County Historical Society is a non-profit organization located in Fort Johnson, NY. The society is dedicated to preserving the history of the Montgomery County region, which includes the Mohawk Valley and surrounding areas.

The society operates out of the Old Fort Johnson historic site, which was originally a fortified home built by Sir William Johnson, a prominent colonial figure in the mid-18th century. The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is open to the public for tours and events.

The Montgomery County Historical Society manages collections of artifacts, documents, and photographs related to the local history of the region. The society also offers educational programming and workshops, including lectures, field trips, and hands-on activities.

In addition to its work at Old Fort Johnson, the Montgomery County Historical Society also manages several other historic sites in the area, including the Fort Klock Historic Restoration and the Van Alstyne Homestead.

The society is supported by membership dues, donations, and grants, and relies on the support of volunteers to carry out its mission of preserving and celebrating the rich history of Montgomery County.

On the south (right) side, a narrow concrete spillway carries water past a newly reconstructed lockhouse.
