Southold

Historical Museum

Our first Line Dancing lesson with Lady T last Friday night at the barn was a huge success! The barn was filled with people eager to learn the fun, and somewhat challenging, art of country line dancing.

There is one more lesson at 7:00 PM on May 16 at the Maple Lane Campus.

Space is limited. Please RSVP for May 16^th at: www.southoldhistorical.org/upcoming

The lessons with Lady T will culminate with a high-energy Line Dancing Party featuring live music by County Line — Long Island’s own dance-centric country band, on Friday, May 23, at 7:00 PM. There will be a larger dance floor for this event.

We hope to see you there!

Southold Historical Museum presents this event with support from Legislator Catherine Stark through the Suffolk County Department of Economic Development for Cultural Tourism and Film.

Southold Historical Museum is pleased to offer the Bainbridge Internship program for 2025.

Internship is a terrific opportunity for a local student to gain a hands-on understanding of the many operations that help Southold Historical Museum preserve and share Southold’s history for our community and future generations.

The internships require the completion of 100 hours of service to the museum and is accompanied by a $1,650 stipend. The position is open to High School Students entering grade 10 and up. Bainbridge applicants must live in Southold Town. Please see the informational flyer and application on our website and feel free to forward to any potential candidates you may know. Application must be submitted by June 6, 2025.

Interns will be announced at the end of June.

Artists are welcome to submit up to three pieces of work that are 10” x 10” for our upcoming non-juried exhibition. The theme for this summer’s Ten Squared online art exhibit and sale is At the Seaside. Each work will be sold for $100, half of which will benefit Southold Historical Museum and half the artist.

Finished works are due with submission forms to Southold Historical Museum the week of June 2 – June 6. All mediums are accepted. Limit of three submissions. Please email art@southoldhistorical.org for artist inquiries or call 631.765.5500. The online exhibit and sale will be July 1 – August 31.
