Responding to the need for a greater understanding of Long Island history, the Smithtown Historical Society has developed outstanding educational programs for elementary school children.

Available to all Long Island schools summer camps, these programs are designed to implement New York State and National Standards for local history instruction. Students learn about the Colonial and Civil War periods though hands-on, immersive activities during our school-year and summer field trips.

Many elementary teachers bring their classes back year after year, allowing the Smithtown Historical Society to host 2,500+ students annually.
