The Northport Historical Society formed around a group of residents intrigued by the village’s rich and colorful, but little-known past. . They became increasingly concerned that important elements of the community’s heritage were being lost and that insufficient regard was being given to the impact of those losses. . In particular, it was the number of Northport’s older homes falling prey to the “wrecker’s ball” that galvanized Marilyn Campbell and her circle of friends to subsequently found the Northport Historical Society in 1962. . The Northport Historical Society's museum and shop are open Thursday-Sunday from 1-4:30. If you're looking for a great way to spend your weekends, the Historical Society is always hosting events from boat tours to pub crawls. Be sure to check out what they're doing on your days off! . #longisland #northport #northportny #northporthistoricalsociety
