The Castile Historical Society was chartered in April of 1955 by the University of the State of New York Education Department to collect and exhibit records, pictures and other items/artifacts connected with the history of Castile and surrounding area, to conduct or sponsor research in such history and to promote interest therein. The Society meets quarterly on the first Thursday of March, June, September and December at 6:00 PM at the United Church of Christ on Washington Street in Castile, NY. A business meeting is preceded by a pot luck dinner and followed with a program of historical interest that is both informational and entertaining.

The Castile Historical Museum was donated to the Castile Historical Society by Mrs. John Eddy in 1956, in memory of her husband. It is a house filled with artifacts, records and pictures covering more than a century. All the items in the house and barn have been donated by interested persons.
