The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation December 23, announced that Roe-Jan Brewing Company in Hillsdale is one of nine projects and one individual being recognized with a 2021 New York State Preservation Award for their efforts to preserve the state’s history. Roe-Jan Brewing is being recognized for Excellence in Historic Rehabilitation for the adaptive reuse of the former Buckley Store building.
