The Pocantico Center Earns Museum Accreditation
The Pocantico Center was one of 10 sites to be newly accredited by the American Alliance of Museums. Accreditation recognizes museums that have met and exceeded standards of excellence developed by the Alliance to ensure that their public trust continues to be upheld. In 1991, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund leased from the National Trust for Historic Preservation the portion of the Rockefeller estate bequeathed to the Trust by Nelson Rockefeller. Subsequently, through the generosity of members of the Rockefeller family, the Fund created The Pocantico Center.
