Rogers Mansion Museum Complex

Headquarters of the Southampton History Museum since 1943, featuring an assemblage of 12 historic structures spanning nearly 400 years of local history, anchored by the spectacular Rogers Mansion.

Halsey House & Garden

One of the oldest English colonial homesteads in New York State. The Halsey family first settled here in 1648 and built this house ca. 1683.

Pelletreau Silver Shop

80 Main Street, Southampton

This tiny building, constructed ca. 1686, is one the oldest continuously operated places of business in the United States. Most famously, it was once the workshop of American patriot and silversmith, Elias Pelletreau (1726-1810).

Conscience Point

A historic site and nature walk commemorating the landing of Southampton’s first English settlers in 1640. Upon reaching the shore, one of the settlers is said to have exclaimed, “For Conscience sake, dry land!”
