The WHBHS has been awarded a Suffolk County Omnibus Grant of $6,000 in support of our Historic Crafts Demonstrations and the Antique Fire Apparatus Muster on the Great Lawn. This important support enables the Society to present these summer events.

The Pomeroy Fund for New York State History, a partnership between the William G. Pomeroy Foundation and Museum Association of New York (MANY), awarded $3,100 to WHBHS to enable us to complete visitor access to the front entrance of the Society’s 1735 Foster-Meeker House. The oldest remaining structure in the community, it is of great historic importance. This funding will enable the Society to create a walkway and handrail for public accessibility that will make the structure a usable public space. We are most appreciative for this funding and looking forward to the project’s completion later this Spring.
