The Reher Center for Immigrant Culture and History is a history museum in Kingston, New York in a former Jewish bakery.[1][2] It includes a collection from the Reher family.[3] It is at 101 Broadway in the Rondout–West Strand Historic District. The center is a member of the Southeastern New York Library Resources Council. The Reher's collections include photographs, recipes, and archaeological finds.[4] Its gallery opened in 2018.[5]

The bakery opened in 1908 and closed in the 1980s. It was opened by Ade Reher an immigrant from Russia.[6] It was willed to a Jewish organization in 2004, became part of a non-profit, and was converted into a historical museum beginning in 2014.[7]

Students from a local Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) trade school helped install the HVAC system.[8]

It was a kosher bakery. Customers whose names were found on a paper bag in the building were interviewed as part of an oral history project. Artifacts from the building have been archived.[9]
