Our museum’s home at 245 North Sea Road has been a long time in the making! The building—purchased by the town in partnership with the village, using Community Preservation Fund revenues, in 2006—will officially open its doors in June 2021, with extensive renovations completed by Southampton architect Siamak Samii.
There were many restrictions on what could be altered due to its historical designation. The exterior was given a facelift, including new shingles in the same pattern as the existing, and new windows and doors. Most of the work was in the foundation and creating a new light-filled space in the basement for exhibits and events. The surrounding property was landscaped and fenced for outdoor events and the enjoyment of the community.
