Annual membership entitles you to receive a subscription to our quarterly newsletter and monthly email newsletter, which will keep you appraised of all GCHA events and fundraisers. The newsletter also contains historical photos, recipes, and articles about the history of Greenlawn and Centerport. Also, the membership is a discount on programs.

Your membership contribution is essential in helping us continue holding events, developing programs, and continue teaching the public about our local history. Most importantly, your membership is crucial for maintaining our three treasured historic assets, the Suydam Homestead, John Gardiner Farm, and Lollipop Train.

Our office, in the Harborfields Public Library, houses several collections, including Russell Brush Research Center and the GCHA’s photo collection. As our communities of Centerport and Greenlawn grow and change, our new digitization efforts will ensure that these wonderful images will be preserved for future generations.

Your membership dues help us to preserve the history of Greenlawn and Centerport for all future generations to enjoy.

It is the mission of the GCHA to research, collect, record and preserve artifacts, photographs, fine arts, and ephemera of Greenlawn & Centerport. In addition, we promote the preservation of historic structures and maintain a historic homestead to provide the public with an opportunity to learn about early life on Long Island. While your dues are vital to keep the association running, the core of the GCHA has always been the dedication and support of volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering, do not hesitate to call.
