| About the Society |
|
| The Sag Harbor Historical Society was established in 1985 and incorporated in 1989. |
|
|
| 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
tofoster the preservation of the historic character of the village. |
|
|
|
| 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 form the Annie Cooper Boyd House. |

|
| The house is currently undergoing restoration and donations are welcome. |
