Southold Historical Museum

Explore a village museum complex of historic homes, carriage shop, print and blacksmith workshops, with seasonal lighthouse access.

Located in Southold on the scenic North Fork, the Southold Historical Museum offers a step back in time through its Maple Lane Museum Campus, open Memorial Day through mid‑September. This charming collection of period buildings—from the c. 1750 Thomas Moore House to the Victorian Ann Currie‑Bell House, Blacksmith Shop, Print Shop, and one-room Bay View School—captures life in 18th- and 19th-century Long Island. Admission includes access to the Nautical Museum at Horton Point Lighthouse, where visitors can climb the tower and explore maritime exhibits in the keeper’s house. The museum is renowned for its immersive exhibits, educational events, and community festivals such as antiques fairs, art sales, and family activities in restored historic spaces. The vintage Prince Building, home to the Museum Gift Shop and Treasure Exchange, offers additional browsing—and all with a feel of genuine local heritage. Visiting the museum is a perfect way to enrich your North Fork getaway with a touch of local culture. Pair the experience with a stay at one of our nearby Luxury Beach Getaway homes for tranquil luxury after a day of exploration.
