A must see treasure, reflective of the past and present cultural diversity of Sag Harbor.
The community of Eastville, on the East Hampton side of Sag Harbor is one of the earliest known working class communities composed of African Americans, Native Americans and European immigrants.
The Eastville Community Historical Society is a unique historical mecca for Sag Harbor's three intersectional cultures: Native Americans, English settlers, African American free laborers. They have regularly changing curated exhibits, but also offer tours and cultural and education events throughout the year. A phone call before your stay to arrange a tour or see what they've up to and when is always a good idea! They are also the site for events in the community like the annual COMPOSH Fish Fry and Harlem in the Hamptons. They are only a block away, so stop in!

The Eastville Community Historical Society was founded in 1981 and chartered by New York State in 1986 to preserve the history of the working-class community of Eastville and to tell the story of St. David AME Zion Church, in its original location built in 1839 by African Americans and Native Americans on Eastville Avenue and widely believed to be a stop along the Underground Railroad. The founding Pastor, Rev. P. Thompson was a noted Abolitionist and friend of Frederick Douglas. The Society also owns, upkeeps, preserves and protects the adjacent century old cemetery in which African and Native Americans of the earlier St. David's church membership are buried and many were Sag Harbor Whalers.
