The mission of the Northport Historical Society is to preserve and promote pride in the heritage of Northport and its surrounding communities. We are entrusted with discovering, collecting and interpreting the historic objects, documents, photographs and other material that will continue to inform our lives and posterity.

We maintain a museum and research library in a landmark building where artifacts associated with the area's history are curated and displayed. We seek to illuminate our legacy through educational programs, exhibits and social activities. We work with others to maintain the character of the Northport area through supporting efforts to preserve historic structures and spaces.
