About the Historical Society
The mission of the Historical Society of the Massapequas is to preserve the local history of Massapequa and Massapequa Park, and to educate people about the richness of our local heritage.
If you like attending our events and support our mission, then please consider joining our group and become a member!
We regret to inform you the Sunday, April 19th meeting at Old Grace Church has been cancelled. This cancelation is due to our current health crisis. Thank you for understanding.
Also, we are currently in the midst of fundraising to help restore the buildings of the Historical Complex , so if you can, please help!
- Thank You -
The Historical Society of the Massapequas would like to thank our doctors, nurses, first responders, and public safety officers on the front lines.
We will be publishing new historical articles about local history on our new blog. Our fourth article, A Brief History of the Massapequas by George Kirchmann can be seen here.
