Southold

Historical Museum

The Treasure Exchange is now open during winter hours from 11 AM – 3 PM on Fridays and Saturdays.

Come find unique home décor items, kitchenware, jewelry, antiques, vintage toys, and fashion accessories. All sales support the mission of the Museum.

The Treasure Exchange is located inside the historic Prince Building at 54325 Main Road, Southold.

The Museum Gift Shop, located in the same building, is open Monday to Friday, 10 AM – 2 PM and some Saturdays.

Join us for a day of winter fun at the Fourth Annual Southold Winterfest on Saturday, February 8. Don’t miss the opportunity to explore our historic Maple Lane Complex, which will be open for tours from 11 AM to 2 PM. Admission is free. Donations gladly accepted.

Be sure to visit the shops at the Prince Building, where you can take advantage of special sales at the Treasure Exchange and the Museum Gift Shop.

This is Bailey’s Garage, according to a handwritten notation on the image, which we believe might have been in Cutchogue. Let us know if you know the precise location. One thing to note about this image, which we find fascinating, is look at where the gas pumps are located. They are on the shoulder/curb of the road – not inset on the property like we are used to today!

In addition to the garage and gas station, this location offered many other things including cars for sale, tires, tubes, batteries, seat covers, and it looks like a sign advertising for “Real Estate” as well.

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!

Reminder for Members:

Please RSVP for the Annual Membership Meeting 12 noon on Jan. 27 today by calling 631-765-5500 or emailing Info@SoutholdHistorical.org

Horton Point Lighthouse History

Horton Point Lighthouse is one of the most beloved local landmarks in Southold.

Did you know it was commissioned by President George Washington in 1790, although it wouldn’t be until the 1850s when the funding was appropriated for its construction.

Read more about the history of the lighthouse on our website, and visit us when the Nautical Museum to learn about the lighthouse keepers, the shipwrecks offshore, and to see our special exhibits.
