Join Terry Reid, Director of the Northport Historical Society and Museum, for a fascinating walking tour that reveals some of Northport’s lesser-known history, some carefully hidden away, and some hiding in plain sight.
Beginning at the Museum, the tour will take you down Main Street and along Scudder Avenue as you uncover clues to Northport’s past that you may have walked by a hundred times without noticing.
Gain exclusive access to hidden meeting rooms, including a peek inside the rarely-seen Masonic Lodge, discover traces of businesses and commerce from long ago, and uncover secret remnants of Northport’s history.
The tour begins at 1:00pm and lasts approximately 1½ hours. Come prepared to see Northport in a whole new way!

Join us for a fun evening downtown Northport and put your memory to the test. Start at the Northport Historical Society and Museum with a tour of the gallery, exploring our community’s vibrant past. Then, head down the street to Moksha Café, and see how much you can remember after a drink or two! This unconventional trivia night, hosted by Northport Historical Society and Museum Executive Director Terry Reid, includes one complimentary drink at Moksha (coffee, beer or glass of wine), with additional food and drink available for purchase. The winning team will get a prize and bragging rights!
Join us at our January Book Club to discuss Finding Margaret Fuller: A Novel, by New York Times bestselling author, Allison Pataki.

With appearances by other luminaries of the day like Ralph Waldo Emerson, Louisa May Alcott and Edgar Allen Poe, the story follows the life of a remarkable woman who made an extraordinary impact on history.
Book will soon be available at the Northport-East Northport Public Library. Registrants will be notified when the book is available.
