Southold

Historical Museum

Have you visited our Maple Lane Complex of historic buildings or attended one of our many events. We hope you had a positive experience!

We kindly ask if you could take a moment to give us a review on our Google business page. Google reviews are a great way to build trust and help us to stand out when customers view our profile on Google. Plus, it’s fun and easy! See the link below.

You can simply give us a one to five star rating or tell us what you liked, for example, the history, our docents, the activities. We appreciate it!

This photograph taken from a cracked and broken glass negative is of a group of bunker fishermen. If you’ll notice, some of the men are wearing rain gear – which was common among bunker fishing company workers. Historic photos of trap fishing workers also show men wearing rain gear when loading their catch into baskets on the decks of the boats.

It seems a practical way to stay dry.

Did you know we welcome your groups to come tour the Maple Lane Complex and Nautical Museum at Horton Point Lighthouse, even when our locations aren’t open for regular hours?

We would gladly accommodate your local, special interest club, association, retirement community, school or home school group, religious organization or work related group. A private tour makes for a more intimate and educational experience! Why not organize a fun outing today?

Feel free to contact us for more information at 631-765-5500 or info@southoldhistorical.org

The Treasure Exchange will reopen on Jan. 12 with winter hours, 11am – 3pm on Fridays and Saturdays.

Would you consider donating some of your fine, gently used items if you are looking to de-clutter in the New Year. Our office in the Prince Building, 54325 Main Road, takes donations 10am – 2pm, Monday through Friday.

*Please do not leave any items at the door.*

Some of the items we appreciate include home decor, kitchenware, jewelry, antiques, vintage toys, fashion accessories. All sales support the mission of the Museum.

Please see the list of items we do and do not accept. Thank you.
