Suffolk County 250th Passport Book - Stamp Day Upcoming

In anticipation of the 250th anniversary, the GCHA is thrilled to be a part of the Suffolk County Passport Book!

Unfortunately, the Suydam Homestead will not be available for tours this spring as we await the completion of necessary maintenance. However, we are excited to announce the upcoming installation of an outdoor informational sign, similar to the one outside the Dove Cottage in Centerport. The sign will encourage historic learning even while the home is temporarily closed.

In the meantime, please visit our office weekdays between 10 AM and 1 PM in the Harborfields Public Library, or join us for a Stamp Day on July 11th during the Grand Reopening of our other historic property, the John Gardiner Farm!

 

Stamp Day | July 11th - 11AM

John Gardiner Farm

900 Park Avenue, Huntington, NY 11740

Stop by the Gardiner barn to get your passport stamp, explore artifacts from the Suydam family, pick up an informational pamphlet, and view a slideshow presentation of historic photos! 

We hope to see you soon!

UV Protection of GCHA's Main Office Display Case

If you've visited our office at the Harborfields Public Library, you may have noticed the artifacts displayed in our case. Thanks to the support of the Society of American Archivists Foundation’s Opportunity Grant Program, we’ve partnered with American Window Film to install UV protective film on the glass. This upgrade helps protect our valuable historical documents, photographs, and artifacts from the damaging effects of ultraviolet light.

UV exposure can lead to fading, discoloration, and deterioration, especially in delicate items like paper and textiles. With the UV protective film, we’re reducing this risk and ensuring we can display these pieces for a longer period.

Next time you're in, be sure to appreciate both the history on display and the care we take in preserving it for future generations.
