Description: The Friends for Long Island's Heritage is one of Long Island's largest citizen support organizations chartered by the New York State Board of Regents in 1964. For over 35 years, Friends has provided a unique partnership with the Museum Systems of the Counties of Nassau and Suffolk, creating a major educational and cultural resource for Long Island.
Friends assist in the preservation of historic structures through its Landmark Preservation Program. They work with the Counties in the development of exhibits, acquisition of Museum collections, issue scholarly and popular publications, sponsor research studies, craft programs, lectures and special events. The Friends operate ten Museum stores, providing for the sale of interpretive material relating to the Museum sites.
The Friends maintain an online calendar of LI events and a weekly e-newsletter to promote Long Island's rich heritage. |
