Sag Harbor Partnership Cancels Firehouse Museum Fundraising Event

​An open house scheduled for Friday, November 14, to kick off the fundraising effort to restore the Sag Harbor Firehouse Museum has been canceled. The Sag Harbor Partnership announced that it had learned “there is some remediation to be done” that prevents allowing guests inside the building, which has sat unattended for five years and saw little regular upkeep in the years before.

The board said it would reschedule the event as soon as possible. by Staff Writer
