Next Stop Long Beach! May 17 Walking Tour
Come and enjoy a walking tour of the city built on sand as we follow the vision of W.H. Reynolds, who created a beautiful seaside resort over 100 years ago. We will start where the city began: at the historically reconstructed LIRR station, which allowed access to the barrier island, and amble to the iconic boardwalk. Along the way, we will “show and tell” stories of important events, personalities, and developments of their time. SIGN UP HERE.

Long Beach Historical Society Receives Two Major Grants from the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation
The Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation has awarded two major grants to the Long Beach Historical Society. The grants, totaling $101,160, will enable the Society to complete much-needed restoration work of its historic museum at 226 West Penn Street in Long Beach, Nassau County, and to launch new fundraising efforts. Read more.
The museum needs repairs and significant restoration work. All 47 windows in our architecturally significant museum need to be restored. Our basement floor is cracking, our chimney needs work, and numerous other projects are needed to restore our museum to its original glory.
Please consider donating to The Long Beach Historical Society’s Restoration Fund. We seek $25,000 in our generous donations to begin restoration work on our most urgent projects. No donation is too small, and we appreciate every penny.
Our motto is: “We bring history to the community and the community to history.”
