The Bronck Museum Craft Shop, located in the Victorian Horse Barn, is open during regular Museum hours, and stocks consignment items made by heritage crafters, as well as books, and photographs. On the southern area of the Museum complex are to be found the Pieter Bronck Museum Shop, the Grapeville Country Store exhibit, restrooms, a picnic area, and the family and slave cemeteries. Collectors of the unusual will enjoy browsing in the Museum Shop which sells antiques and collectibles donated by friends of the Society. Staffed by volunteers, the Museum Shop is open on specific Special Event days. Proceeds from both Museum Shops support the operations and activities of the Greene County Historical Society.
