About
Smithtown Historical Society Education Programs offer engaging education programs for school-aged children focusing on Long Island's history from the Colonial to Civil War periods. Children explore the rich history of the community by wandering through historical houses, meeting farm animals, and exploring a twenty-acre site and historic buildings. During programs, students interact with educators in attire as part of hands-on learning opportunities for grades 3–5.
