Journey back to 1640, when the first English settlers landed at Conscience Point and encountered the Shinnecock people. Learn how these early colonists adapted to a new land, spending eight formative years in their first settlement at Olde Towne as their numbers grew and their community took shape. We'll follow their progress through time, culminating in the establishment of Southampton’s iconic Main Street in 1648. This compelling story of survival, cooperation, and growth offers a vivid glimpse into the early days of one of America’s oldest English settlements.
The tour is guided by Laurie Collins, Museum Manager at the Southampton History Museum.
