Founded in 1944, Oysterponds Historical Society (OHS) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization chartered by the State of New York.

 

Whether you contribute to one of our special projects, to our general operations, or to the Griffin Giving Circle program*,  in all cases your funds will go towards the mission of the OHS: to bring people together to share and celebrate the unique history and culture of Orient and East Marion.  By presenting shared experiences from the past, we connect our rich heritage to the present and pass it on to future generations.

 

Your generosity and ongoing support make it possible for us to present a calendar of compelling programs including exhibitions, lectures, films, webinars, children’s activities, and cultural events; preserve and maintain seven historic buildings on the 8 1/2 acre OHS campus; and care for our collections of historical documents, art, objects, and archives.

 

 Annual Giving

Your gift to the Oysterponds Historical Society’s Annual Fund touches every aspect of the institution, from exhibition development, care of the historic buildings and the 60,000+ historical items in our collections, community and educational programing, and so much more.
