Preserving & Interpreting History On Eastern Long Island - Cutchogue Village Green

Cutchogue Village Green is an interesting experience, especially for those who appreciate small-town beauty and history. Located on Long Island’s North Fork, Cutchogue is known for its scenic rural landscapes, vineyards, and historic charm. The Village Green itself is a peaceful, picturesque park surrounded by beautiful old buildings and homes. The area exudes a historic feel that reflects Cutchogue's origins, dating back to the 1600s. As part of the village’s historic district, the Green makes it easy to feel as though you’ve stepped back in time.

The Cutchogue-New Suffolk Historical Council maintains the Cutchogue Village Green and Old Burying Ground as a living memorial to the original founders of Cutchogue and New Suffolk.

The Old House is said to have been built in 1699 and was the home of Parker Wickham, a Loyalist politician during the American Revolution who was banished from New York under suspicious circumstances. It was damaged by the Hurricane of 1938 and restored in 1940 and then again in 1968.

Wandering through the village green park or the surrounding area offers a chance to step back in time and appreciate the village’s roots.

The Village Garage is a post-and-beam garage erected in 2011 to house the 1926 Model T Ford tuck used by the Fleet family of Cutchogue.

This Old Schoolhouse was built around 1840 and was Cutchogue’s first district school building. It continued to serve local students until 1903. It was moved to a nearby farm where it served for many years as a dwelling. Later it was donated to the Historical Council, it was moved to the Village Green in 1964 and restored to its original condition.

The Wickham Farmhouse was originally built on Route 25, in early 18th century by the Horton family. It was donated to the Historical Council in 1965 and moved to the Village Green for preservation and restoration. It is an excellent example of a Cape Cod style dwelling of the mid-18th century.
