The Southampton Historical Museum celebrates life in the 19th century Southampton with a variety of activities that harkens back to a simpler, hands on era where everyone, children and adults, pitched in to make an income for the family and to make a sustainable home life. This annual event will again have costumed trade and craft people demonstrating decoy carving, beekeeping, black smithing, candle making, basketry and many more traditional skills. Also there will be Civil War re-enactors making camp, rifle shooting and parading.
About Southampton Historical Museum
The mission of the Southampton Historical Museum is to preserve and promote the history and culture of the Town of Southampton through education programs for people of all ages and exhibits on our common social history.
The Southampton Colonial Society (now doing business as the Southampton Historical Museum) was organized in 1898 and incorporated in 1910. In its early days, the Society collected and exhibited historical objects and documents relating to the history and development of Southampton, organized pageants, and gave lectures on antiques. By the 1990s the Rogers Mansion property had expanded to include 12 historic structures including a one-room schoolhouse, a 1825 barn, and a 19th century paint shore, among others. The museum is open year-round with changing exhibits on historic topics, a research center, and extensive education programs for schoolchildren and adults.
The Rogers Mansion contains an extensive research library and archives dedicated to the history of Southampton and its surrounding areas. The library currently contains over 800 volumes and the archives include a wide range of subjects from account books to family memorabilia. Come explore our research center and with the help of a research assistant see what you can discover. |
