Step into the stories of the Revolutionary War through a special collaboration among FIVE North Fork history organizations and museums. Together, these sites are bringing to life the experiences of the people who lived in Southold Town during the nation’s fight for independence.

This initiative focuses solely on our North Fork.

As you visit each participating museum on the North Fork Trail, you’ll discover unique exhibits, artifacts, and local stories that reveal how the Revolutionary War shaped life on the North Fork 250 years ago. Follow the trail from site to site for a deeper look at the people, places, and events that helped define the beginnings of our nation.

Each organization offers its own perspective and programming, creating a rich and engaging journey through local history. For information about hours, exhibits, and special events, please visit the participating organizations’ websites, found here:
