Special Thanks
We are incredibly grateful to the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation for the generous support they provided through their 250th Commemoration Grant. This funding helped make much of our special programming possible. We also share our gratitude with The Home Depot in Patchogue for generously donating the materials we used to build our interactive exhibit. |
The Kids Kicked It Off!
We started our programming in September 2025 with The American Revolution at Sea. Children "sailed" back in time 250 years to meet naval characters, learn about life at sea, use navigational tools, and make their own simple sextants!
