🏆 Celebrating 100 Years of Community Service! 💙

This past Sunday, the Northport Historical Society and Museum was honored to present the Century Award to the Sisters of St. Joseph of St. Philip Neri Roman Catholic Church in recognition of their 100 years of dedicated service to our community! ⛪💛

📸 Photo 1 (L–R): Our dear neighbors, Sister Mary Sheppard, Sister Josephine Olimperi, and Sister Mary Eva Marchese. We are proud to celebrate their lasting commitment to our community!

📸 Photo 2: A historic photograph featuring the original Sisters who came to Northport 100 years ago, including Principal Sister Grace Maria and teachers Sister Placidia and Sister Regina Celeste.

Please join us in congratulating the Sisters of St. Joseph on this wonderful milestone and thanking them for a century of service to our community! ❤️

🕰️ Throwback Thursday: Remember Muller’s Valley Road Restaurant? 🍽️

Who remembers Muller’s Valley Road Restaurant in East Northport? 🇩🇪 A popular German-American restaurant, Muller’s was owned by Karl Muller (1889–1953) and was a local favorite for years!

The restaurant later became the Vernon Valley Inn before being purchased by the congregation of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in 1969. Today, the site is home to the church’s education building. 🏛️

💭 Do you remember dining at Muller’s or have stories to share? We’d love to hear your memories in the comments!

🇺🇸 SUNDAYS AT THE SOCIETY: JOHN SLOSS HOBART — REVOLUTIONARY WAR PATRIOT & STATESMAN 🏛️

Born in Fairfield, Connecticut, in 1738, John Sloss Hobart played an important role in our nation’s founding and in the history of our local community!

🏡 Hobart built his home, Cherry Lawn, on Eaton’s Neck, where he raised cattle and sheep. A member of the Sons of Liberty, he actively opposed British rule, helped draft the New York State Constitution, and later served as a United States Senator. He also supported legislation for the construction of the Eaton’s Neck Lighthouse.

🌊 Today, his legacy lives on through Hobart Beach on Eaton’s Neck, named in his honor.

Join us as Brian O’Connor, author of Death by Fire and Ice: The Steamboat Lexington Calamity and the forthcoming John Sloss Hobart: Revolutionary War Patriot and Statesman, explores Hobart’s remarkable life and lasting legacy.

📅 Sunday, October 25
