The Reher Center for Immigrant Culture and History is a history museum in Kingston, New York in a former Jewish bakery. It includes a collection from the Reher family.

The bakery opened in 1908 and closed in the 1980s. It was opened by Ade Reher an immigrant from Russia. 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.
Students from a local Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) trade school helped install the HVAC system.
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 Artifacts from the building have been archived.
