The Museum Gift Shop and the Treasure Exchange are open weekdays—making it the perfect time to discover special after-holiday finds and unique local treasures.

At the Treasure Exchange, be sure to ask about our “Blue Line” items—if you know, you know 

Browse an exceptional selection of quality items, including children’s toys, educational gifts, locally made goods, wine-related items, jewelry, and the area’s largest collection of local history, art, and recipe books.

Both shops, located in the Prince Building, are open five days a week and will resume Saturday hours beginning January 17

We’re so grateful to Corinna, our 2025 Gardiner Young Scholar intern, for all her wonderful work at Southold Historical Museum! During her internship, Corinna led informational tours for students, helped create educational flyers, and assisted with organizing materials—all while learning about Southold’s fascinating history.

Southold Historical Museum is proud to offer internships that give students a behind-the-scenes look at the many facets of museum operations. We are especially thankful to the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation for making these meaningful opportunities available to local students.

Thank you, Corinna—and thank you to the Gardiner Foundation for their continued support!
