The Setaukets, Old Field, and Poquott is a rich collection of photographs, documents, and oral histories from the archives of the Three Village Historical Society and from generous residents. It reveals the bucolic old Setauket village center, with its farmers, craftsmen, and seamen who were the backbone of the community. This book portrays buildings that no longer exist and follows other structures, through the migration of the town center south and east, to their present location. It also shows aspects of village life in Old Field and Poquott, both established as residential communities in the early 20th century.

This guidebook has been published by the Three Village Historical Society as an introduction to the historic communities of Setauket, East Setauket and Stony Brook including the incorporated villages of Old Field and Poquott. The Three Village area is rich in history and fortunate to have much of its history intact. It includes four Town of Brookhaven Historic Districts, a long natural shoreline, a number of wetland areas, a few remaining farms, scattered woodlands and a section of the Long Island Pine Barrens. The homes reflect every period from the 1600's to the present; the new houses blending with their saltbox and Victorian counterparts. The Society does not maintain an historic house or an artifact collection to display and interpret to the general public. Instead, it regards the entire Three Village area as its museum; the homes, the people and the natural environment as its collection; and the homeowners as its curators. To understand and appreciate the community setting involves somewhat the same attitude as it needed to fully enjoy fine paintings and art objects; artifacts in a history museum; or specimens in a natural science museum. The natural setting of the community has the advantage of being a living, constantly changing display. Each structure in the community has its own identity and history as well. Each style tells us something about a specific era. Rooflines, windows, porches, and many other details make each building unique and give diversity and interest to each area. Take a moment to look at details closely. Part of the appeal of our museum is the setting of each building. Fences, walks, barns, rock walls, bridges and the location of a house on its property are the man-made features that add to the setting. Trees, bushes, gardens and landscape features are the natural additions that help to unify an area. Woods, fields, streams, ponds, wetlands, hills and valleys are the environmental features that form an essential part of the historic fabric of the community. We hope you enjoy this guide to our historic Three Village area and that you will use it again as you explore the Three Village Museum.

Downstate New York Rock Walks is both a hiking guidebook and a history book, calling attention to some of downstate New York's most spectacular and historic rocks: balanced rocks, perched rocks, rock shelters, talus caves, glacial potholes, split rocks, rock profiles, historic rocks, and massive, larger-than-life boulders. Many large glacial erratics have a history going back thousands of years to when they were moved to their present location by advancing glaciers. Many served as points of navigational reference at a time when the landscape was featureless and heavily forested, and still others were ceremonial sites for Native Americans. Rock shelters and talus caves have also been used for thousands of years by Native Americans and Europeans seeking refuge from the elements. It is important that these amazing natural wonders of stone be remembered and recorded before they are lost to collective memory or destroyed by the encroachment of civilization. Providing precise GPS location information along with length and degree of difficulty for each hike, Downstate New York Rock Walks will appeal to casual hikers, serious rock explorers, historians, geologists, and anyone wishing to explore some of nature’s greatest wonders within the reach of the lower Hudson River valley.

Based on ten years of collaborative, community-based research, this book examines race and racism in a mixed-heritage Native American and African American community on Long Island’s north shore. Through excavations of the Silas Tobias and Jacob and Hannah Hart houses in the village of Setauket, Christopher Matthews explores how the families who lived here struggled to survive and preserve their culture despite consistent efforts to marginalize and displace them over the course of more than 200 years. He discusses these forgotten people and the artifacts of their daily lives within the larger context of race, labor, and industrialization from the early nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century. A Struggle for Heritage draws on extensive archaeological, archival, and oral historical research and sets a remarkable standard for projects that engage a descendant community left out of the dominant narrative. Matthews demonstrates how archaeology can be an activist voice for a vulnerable population’s civil rights as he brings attention to the continuous, gradual, and effective economic assault on people of color living in a traditional neighborhood amid gentrification. Providing examples of multiple approaches to documenting hidden histories and silenced pasts, this study is a model for public and professional efforts to include and support the preservation of historic communities of color.

Take a ghostly journey through Long Island’s history—photos included! Ghosts lurk at the Execution Rocks Lighthouse, where Revolutionary War Patriots were brutally tortured and killed by the British during the Battle of Long Island. Popular gathering places have otherworldly tenants, including Bayport’s Grey Horse Tavern and the Cutchogue Village Green, where several old buildings—and their former inhabitants—are preserved. Long Island’s history, dating all the way back to its Native American legends, is unearthed and preserved through its ghost stories and the spirits that have made their presence known. Through extensive research, interviews, and investigations, award-winning author and historian Kerriann Flanagan Brosky, alongside medium and paranormal investigator Joe Giaquinto, uncovers Long Island's eerie history.

Historical and archaeological records show that racism and white supremacy defined the social fabric of the northeastern states as much as they did the Deep South. This collection of essays looks at both new sites and well-known areas to explore race, resistance, and supremacy in the region. With essays covering farm communities and cities from the early seventeenth century to the late nineteenth century, the contributors examine the marginalization of minorities and use the material culture to illustrate the significance of race in understanding daily life. Drawing on historical resources and critical race theory, they highlight the context of race at these sites, noting the different experiences of various groups, such as African American and Native American communities. This cutting-edge research turns with new focus to the dynamics of race and racism in early American life and demonstrates the coming of age of racialization studies.

"From farmers cutting hay with scythes to dancers jigging to fiddle music on barn floors, artist William Sidney Mount's paintings reveal a seldom recognized world on the North Shore of Long Island. At a time when racist caricatures were the norm, Mount portrayed people of color in his mid-nineteenth-century works with great humanity."--
