The 19^th century Red Barn was built originally as a grain storage shed located on the Orient wharf. 2024 marks its debut as a revitalized and repurposed exhibition space, home to “The Red Barn Collection,” a permanent multi-media exhibition focused on the storied farming and fishing history of Long Island’s North Fork.

In the most recent past, the building stored some of the larger scale objects in OHS’s collections, including horse-drawn carriages and sleighs.
