Southold

Historical Museum

We are proud to unveil our newest bricks added to our beautiful Brick Garden at the Maple Lane Complex at 11am on Saturday, Oct. 19. All are welcome.

The Brick Garden serves as a wonderful tribute and lasting legacy in our town. Please feel free to join us, or to contact us if you are interested in purchasing a memorial brick. Thank you.

This event is rain or shine.

Last call for artists to participate in our Ten Squared online art exhibit and sale, themed The Natural World Around Us. In this non-juried exhibition, artists can submit up to three pieces of work that are 10” x 10”. Each work will be sold for $100, half of which will benefit Southold Historical Museum and half to the artist.

Finished works are due with submission forms to Southold Historical Museum by Oct. 25. Please email art@southoldhistorical.org for artist inquiries or call 631.765.5500. The online exhibit and sale will be Nov. 15 – Dec 15, 2024.

Recently, we got a research request from England that had us wondering how we were going to answer! The researcher sent us the picture seen here and wanted to know who the people were on the far right.

After thinking about it for a bit, we did some research and it turns out that Gladys and Stanton Mott went to Southwold, England in 1955. Upon their return, they published the exact same photograph in Traveler- Watchman Newspaper. Thankfully it had a caption!

The picture was taken in front of Southwold Town Hall. From left to right: Mr. H.A. Liquorish (Town Clerk), Mr. Wells (The Mace Bearer), Mayor F.G. Baggott, Mrs. Baggott, Stanton Mott, and Gladys Mott.

Would you consider donating a few hours of your time at our magical holiday events?  We are in need of volunteers at the Candlelight Tour & Tree Lighting on Nov. 29 from 3pm – 6pm, and the Holiday Fair on Dec. 7 from 9am – 4pm.

For the Candlelight Tour, we are looking for people interested in decorating before the event, and for persons able to organize children’s events, or just help out the day of the Candlelight Tour.

We are also looking for people to assist with the Holiday Fair, and also for someone to organize a bake sale. The bake sale is very popular and 100% of the proceeds benefit the Museum.
