Brier and Long Islands Historical Society

Brier and Long Islands Historical Society Dedicated to preserving Long and Brier Island history for the future. Islands Archives is available to the public on a year round basis.

In 1984, members of Brier Islands Historical Society met with members of the Tiverton Board of Trade to found Islands Historical Society and build Islands Museum on Long Island. In 2003, archival materials were moved to Freeport, where they could be held in a climate controlled atmosphere.

Going through a ledger that may be from 1880, which belonged to Handley Coggins who had a fish business at Southern Point, Brier Island.

Look at the third item under Schooner Lizzie G the boat got paid for cod and pollack but spent 95 cents on bed bug poison. It might not have been a comfortable trip for the crew!
