Southampton History Museum’s Heritage Fair

Join us for an unforgettable celebration marking the 250th anniversary of the United States of America at the Southampton History Museum’s Heritage Fair! This one-day, family-friendly event will take place on Saturday, May 9, 2026, and will honor our nation’s rich history while celebrating our shared heritage and community spirit.

Enjoy hands-on demonstrations by skilled traditional tradespeople, sheep shearing and animal displays, live performances of 18th- and 19th-century music, and captivating stories about famous—and lesser-known—Long Island legends. Take part in interactive colonial and Victorian-era crafts, Contra Dancing, explore historic games and toys for all ages, and experience the traditions, the sights, the sounds, and yes, even the smells, that shaped our nation!
