Support the Museum

For 60 years the Northport Historical Society has had an eye towards the past and eye towards the future. We are entrusted with the care of our landmark museum building and with the preservation of over 10,000 historic documents, photos, and artifacts.
This year, we have added the historic Skidmore House at 199 Main Street to our stewardship.
As we come out of nearly two years of shutdown, we are stronger and ready for an exciting new time.
Our Annual Appeal to our supporters is critical to our operating budget and thus we ask that you be generous in your support to allow us to serve the community and charge forth with new energy.

Get your passport stamped for Ireland this Saturday December 11th:

* Holiday Cookie Decorating *

Our 'Stamp Your Passport' series highlights Ireland.

This adult only event is inspired by Irish immigrant, Isabelle Quinlan, who settled in Northport in the late 1880's.

On Saturday, December 11th at 6:30pm, you will hear the amazing story behind Isabelle Quinlan's gingerbread cookies and family history at our museum gallery. Then, while enjoying wine and snacks, local entrepreneur Jean Ann Travers will guide us in decorating cookies baked with Isabelle's recipe. (see above picture)

The festive evening will feature the Northport High School Chamber Orchestra playing music in our museum gallery.

For our next NHS Book Club Meeting
we will be reading:

The Lost Boys of Montauk: The True Story of the Wind Blown, Four Men Who Vanished at Sea, and the Survivors They Left Behind
by author Amanda M. Fairbanks

"In March of 1984, the commercial fishing boat Wind Blown left Montauk Harbor on what should have been a routine offshore voyage..."

Barnes and Noble describes the book as:
An immersive account of a tragedy at sea whose repercussions haunt its survivors to this day, lauded by New York Times bestselling author Ron Suskind as "an honest and touching book, and a hell of a story."

Register here to participate in the discussion at our museum gallery on January 20th at 7pm
