11 AM to 12 PM Join us for a special curator-led tour of our current exhibition which explores the development of Long Island’s professional weaving industry and the broader historical events that shaped its growth during the first half of the nineteenth century. Register today!
Our new exhibition and related special programming explore the history of Long Island’s early professional textile industry and the interwoven connections between people, materials, technology, and labor—both enslaved and free—across an ocean and generations.
Our four historic properties will be open for the season starting in June with tours offered through October. The 2023 tour schedule and new online reservation system now live!
