The mission of the Amagansett Life-Saving and Coast Guard Station is to preserve and tell the story of the Amagansett Station, its surfmen, and America’s fast-vanishing Life-Saving and early Coast Guard stations and watercraft. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, our museum is dedicated to:
• Providing access, understanding, and enjoyment of this important piece of local and national maritime heritage and its ongoing preservation;
• Providing education and public programming to engage future generations in its history, commemorate historical events, and celebrate Amagansett’s role in maritime history;
• Presenting special exhibitions and producing events historical or nautical in nature which have featured authors, film screenings, re-enactments, and photography as well as conservation efforts such as organized beach cleanups and being a research site for local institutions of higher education;
• Maintaining a thoughtful collection of artifacts to preserve and celebrate the history of lifesaving on the U.S.
