Historic Review Law Made Permanent

The Northport Village Board of Trustees on December 6, 2011, unanimously approved a resolution making the Village's Historic Review Law permanent. The local law, passed in March of 2010, requires that renovations or demolitions proposed for houses 100 years old or older go before the Village's Board of Architectural & Historic Review. The law does not apply to minor exterior changes such as paint colors or windows. A sunset provision was included with the law's passage, mandating that it would lapse in March 2012, unless the Trustees acted to extend or make it permanent.

Museum Exhibit

The current exhibit in the gallery, "Growing Up Northport: Reflections of Childhood from the 1870s to the 1970s," is being dismounted. Our new exhibit opening reception is scheduled for February 26th. See the calendar for more information.
