Mission Statement:

The Oyster Bay Historical Society was founded to fulfill a previously unmet need in the community; namely, to create a public interest in, and awareness of, the rich and unique history of the town of Oyster Bay, and to capitalize on that history in order to further current and future dreams and goals.

With the above in mind, the Society's sworn duty is to collect, conserve and preserve documents, genealogical records, artifacts, books and photographs pertinent to the history and development of Oyster Bay.
Further, the Society is charged with stimulating and educating the community through exhibitions, lectures, and publications designed to draw on our past and reflect on our future, with the object of bringing history to life, and creating a sense of local pride and excitement for our generation and generations to come.
