It is only the Society’s second such award for the preservation of local historic buildings, the first being to the John and Elaine Kanas Family Foundation for its preservation of the Speonk Mill.

Town of Southampton Tour of Historic Places

To celebrate the 375th Anniversary of the Town of Southampton, a walking/biking historic tour was created to encourage residents and visitors to explore the town and discover its many historic sites and attractions. In each area, the “tour” includes a map, a photo of the site, and a short narrative. All buildings are visible from public walks. We suggest the three closest to the WHB Historical Society… Eastport/Speonk/Remsenburg, Village of Westhampton, and Westhampton/Quiogue… but all are very interesting.
