HISTORIC PUBLIC STRUCTURES
TOWN OF SOUTHAMPTON
A SELECTION / 1640 – 1865
———-
Conscience Point, North Sea, June 12, 1640.
Conscience Point is the approximate landing place of the first English colonists who arrived here in June of 1640. The Shinnecock Indians lived around the harbor for many centuries before the arrival of the English who subsequently settled in the vicinity of the present Southampton Village. Both the early settlers and the Native Americans benefited from the productivity of the marsh-bordered land and harbor.
Conscience Point is owned by the Southampton History Museum. A trail leads to a commemorative monument placed here in 1910. In 2000, the Museum and the Town of Southampton completed a project to restore this location to a more natural condition and to conserve its resources for the future. — Southampton History Museum
