On display January 10th - March 5th, 2026
In 2016, ten years ago, a remarkable 250 buildings were listed in the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Quogue Historic District. The majority are
summer “cottages” built during an unprecedented real estate boom at the turn of the 20th century. Today, these Shingle-style homes form the architectural character of Quogue -- its unique sense of place.
The coming of the railroad in 1870 cemented Quogue’s popularity as a summer resort. By the 1880s, boarding house residents were in search of a more permanent seasonal presence. Roads were laid out south of Quogue Street with easy access to the bays, creeks, and ocean, landowners began selling off house lots; and a flurry of home construction began. The mark left on the Village is indelible.
All are welcome to the Reception & Talk with Julie Greene, Southampton Town Historian & QHS Curator on Sunday, February 1st, 2026 from 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM
