The Port of Missing Men is one of the last surviving mansions from the Gilded Age whose interior is unchanged since the Roaring Twenties. It was built by H.H. Rogers, Jr. whose father was the wealthiest man in the U.S in 1910. The estate was created on over 2,000 acres on the Great Peconic Bay as a hunting lodge. It was a place for men to hunt and get away from their families who summered in Southampton, hence the name “Port of Missing Men.” The Rogers family continues to occupy the estate today. It may be the last Gilded Age mansion on Long Island owned by the original family.
At 5:00 pm the current owner will lead a few special guests through the extensive private quarters that leads to a Prohibition Era bar. At 6:00 pm the cocktail party begins in the Great Room and the ghost hunt begins in a guest wing built in 1661 by a Southampton pioneering family and now part of the complex.
Executive Director Tom Edmonds says, “this is a unique opportunity to search for hidden spirits in one of the last Gilded Age mansions still owned by the original family.”
