Herkimer 9, LLC


Primary Mission:
​Provide the primary lead in the strategic redevelopment plan for North Main Street, intended as a framework for the phased implementation of site development, new construction and building renovations in the historic center of Herkimer, New York.


Established in 2020



This development centers on the themes of Herkimer’s role in the history of basketball, historic buildings, and early industrial prominence exemplified by the Quackenbush Factory.

The Herkimer 9, LLC operates in cooperation with the Herkimer 9 Foundation as per a common vision to revitalize the Village of Herkimer both for community enrichment and economic development.

Our Mission



The first game of basketball is believed to have been played at the Herkimer YMCA in February 1891. Many of the rules which govern modern basketball are believed to have been developed there as well. Mr. Quackenbush was not only an inventor and industrialist, but also the President of the Herkimer YMCA at the time of this first game. We will be displaying all the evidence and memorabilia at a new museum in the historic court house to show the timeline of basketball.
