Northport HIstorical Society, 215 Main Street, Northport
“Iconic Northport,” an exhibit now open at the Northport Historical Society, begins this Thursday with its first event. Visitors to the museum will hear Northport Community Band Musical Director Don Sherman’s historical insight into well-known Northport landmark, the Krueger Bandshell. This is a free event and no registration is required.

Enjoy snacks and refreshments provided by the East Northport Rotary before walking down Main Street to enjoy the Northport Community Band's concert at 8:30pm in Village Park (see full listing below).

The exhibit itself features the history behind Northport's most iconic landmarks, businesses and traditions, including the LILCO stacks, the trolley tracks, Jones Drug Store and Cow Harbor Day, just to name a few. The museum’s first ever interactive exhibit, each icon has its own QR code that offers users a short video containing extra photos and interesting facts. There is also a selfie station, where visitors can become a customer of Jones Drug Store's old soda fountain.

The exhibit will run until Spring of 2023. Throughout the year, the Northport Historical Society will hold events in conjunction with some of the “icons,” such as the pre-concert talk given by Don Sherman. Other events will include an evening at Tim’s Shipwreck Diner, and a historic harbor tour hosted by Seymour’s Boatyard. Visit www.northporthistorical.org for more information.

In case of inclement weather, the Northport Community Band concert will be held at the Northport High School at 154 Laurel Road in Northport. The Northport HIstorical Society is located at 215 Main Street in Northport.
