Southold Museum

Southold Museum in Southold, Suffolk County, United States | Museum

When
you enter the Southold Museum in Southold, New York, United States,  you are confronted with an awesome
collection of rocks, stones, tools, points (arrow, spear), hammerstones,
hoes, bone awls and needles, foodstuffs, medicines, paints, shell necklaces,
and many, many clay and soapstone pots.


There are sharp stone knives; one, splitting
a rabbit skin so clothing might be produced. These are the artifacts left
here by "those who came before."


It is
an exciting challenge to educators at Southold Museum in Southold, New York, to help school classes and other
groups make connections between the artifacts on display in the exhibit
cases and the people whose hands cut and scraped the animal skins, twisted
cordage and sinew, wove nets, gathered medicinal herbs, hunted and fished
in Long Island forests, bays, and streams.


Our
programs have been designed to broaden awareness and experience with Native
American culture.
