Projects
The Sayville Historical Society regularly participates in preservation projects. Learn about them below.
Now Open: farmhouse building 2nd floor!
NEW: For the very first time, the second floor of the 1785 farmhouse is now open to visitors as of June 2, 2024. Antique clothing is on display in the upstairs rooms including a hat collection, plus toys, an 1898 tea set and more. Take a trip back into time – stop by and see it for yourself!
preserving history through digitization
NEW: See digitized images from Sayville’s past!
The digitization is a project funded by a generous five-year grant from the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation, with an emphasis on collections within Suffolk County. Read the full details in The Suffolk County News here.
Archiving our Collection
We have a part-time archivist who is working to secure and document our historical collection. A permanent display of an original 1858 map of Suffolk County will be in the Exhibit Building soon.
Restoration of the Edwards Family Graveyard
We’re initiating a project to restore the Edwards Family Graveyard in South Sayville.
