The Janet T. Swanson Exhibition Gallery is temporarily closed.

Every summer the Janet T. Swanson Exhibition Gallery in the Old Point Schoolhouse is Oysterponds Historical Society’s venue for a brand-new, in-depth exhibition culled from its voluminous collection, as well as one-off, special-interest exhibitions.

The gallery is named in honor of former OHS Board Member Janet T. Swanson (1935-2000), who taught psychiatric and
mental health nursing at NYU, was a lobbyist for the New York State Nurses’ Association, and a Founding President of the
North Fork Women for Women Fund. We are forever grateful for her invaluable involvement in and generous support of OHS.
