Our Home
The year 2007 celebrated the centennial of our home, the Justices Court Building in Glen Cove. Sterling Glen of Glen Cove donated this historic building to the North Shore Historical Museum and renovation of the building is nearly complete. The Courthouse, built in 1907, is listed on the State and National Register of Historic Places and is the ideal permanent home for the North Shore Historical Museum.
Our Mission
The Museum’s mission is to preserve the history of the North Shore of Long Island through the stewardship of its collections and historic structure – the 1907 Justices Court Building – to engage the public, and to interpret the history of the North Shore, in particular the area once known as the “Gold Coast”, through exhibitions, lectures, and programs.
Upcoming Events
Your support allows us to remain true to our mission to preserve yesterday for tomorrow
The Board of Trustees remains committed to continuing to preserve the history of the North Shore of Long Island. We do this through lectures and fundraising efforts. Our annual fall fundraiser culminates in our keepsake journal (click here).
We are continuing to restore our land marked building, and hope to finalize the funding for the front facade this year. In addition, our goal is to complete the installation roll-out of storm windows with UV protectant glass. These windows not only aid our heating and cooling costs, but also help to protect our local treasures from harm.
Your membership also entitles you to free entry to the museum and discounts on selected events and programs.
