The Mission of the Sag Harbor Historical
Society (SHHS) is to promote and encourage public education and appreciation
of Sag Harbor history; and to work for the preservation of historic buildings
and sites; and to foster the preservation of the historic character of
the village. The Sag Harbor Historical Society was established in
1985 and incorporated in 1989. The Society's headquarters are located
in the Annie Cooper Boyd House on Main Street in Sag Harbor. The
house dates back to the 18th century and was thought to be the house in
which David Frothingham first published the Long Island Herald, Long Island's
first newspaper, in the 1790's. Today, research has proven this untrue,
and it is likely that Frothingham ran his business from a building located
across the street from the Annie Cooper Boyd House. The house is
currently undergoing restoration and donations are welcome. The Sag
Harbor Historical Society offers a number of programs to the public, including:
Quarterly
Meetings that are open to the public.
Special
Guest Lectures and Slide Shows.
Visits
to Historic Properties in the village that have been fully restored.
Walking
Tours of historic Sag Harbor
and
much, much, more . . .
As part of it's mission to represent
the history of Sag Harbor to the public, the Society holds over 500 books,
letters, documents, diaries, postcards, bibles, and ledgers that record
the history of the village; a photograph collection that includes images
of local residents, buildings, and sites within and surrounding the village;
and an extensive collection of artwork done by Annie Cooper Boyd, the former
owner of the Society's headquarters, of local sites and scenes. The
majority of the collection is stored at the Society's headquarters, and
may be viewed by appointment. Reference questions relating to the
history of the village can be answered by the staff as well.
