Join us for an exciting Revolutionary War reenactment from 10am to 4pm on Sunday, Sept. 15 during our Living History Day!

The grounds of the Maple Lane Complex, at 55200 Main Road, Southold will be transformed into a living history encampment featuring the reenactors from the Third New York Regiment. Visitors will experience 18th-century camp life, including demonstrations of firearms, military drills, and other daily tasks. There will also be blacksmithing, spinning, basket weaving, printing press, and carpentry demonstrations, as well as music by Eastern L.I. Old Time Jam.

The Museum buildings will be open for tours. Admission is free. Donations gladly accepted.
