The '''Sands Ring Homestead Museum''' is a historic house located on Main Street in the [[Cornwall, New York|Town of Cornwall]], in [[Orange County, New York|Orange County]], [[New York (state)|New York]]. It was built in 1760 by Nathaniel Sands for his cousin Comfort Sands. Comfort's wife, however, did not want to leave her home on Long Island, so Nathaniel and his family moved in. In 1777, Nathaniel gave the house as a wedding present to his son David and his bride Clementine Hallock. David, a member of the Society of Friends, opened the house to the Quaker community as a meetinghouse until the Quaker Meeting House located at 60 Quaker Avenue opened in 1790. His son David established a store on the site. It was one of the first meeting places of the Cornwall [[Quaker]]s. Today it is used as museum featuring Colonial-era activities.<ref name="NysNrhpNom">
