The Bronxville History Center holds a small collection of artifacts most of which

art by Bronxville artists or about Bronxville subjects; three samplers made by members

of the Alexander Masterton family (1832-1855); four knives made by J. Ward & Co. (c.

1860s and later); two electrical control devices made by the Ward Leonard Electric

Company (c. 1900-1910) several Bronxville merchant give-away items; three flags, a

corporate seal, and a few other items from the records of the Leonard Morange Post 464,

American Legion; ten items from the Hotel Gramatan—a banner, tablecloth, blanket,

carpet swatch, ash trays, a knife, spoon, directional sign, and Japanese lantern; three

Gramatan Springs bottles; five Village of Bronxville commemorative items; five hats—

three belonging to a Bronxville man killed in Vietnam, one possibly owned by the Kraft

family, and a policeman’s hat; a piece of Tuckahoe marble; a cane belonging to Amie

Dusenberry; and the historic marker regarding Chief Gramatan and the donation of

Indian land that was fixed to the Sunset Hill retaining wall from 1936 to 2019.

Folders containing information about the artifacts in this collection are arranged

in a Numerical File, which lists each artifact by number. The same listings for the

artifacts as are included in the Numerical File are also arranged in a Name and Subject

File, which puts in bold lettering the element in the artifact listing which is
