Current Exhibition & Events
The Museum now has its current exhibit, No Longer Hidden, on view, honoring both Black History and Women’s History. The installation will remain up through June 10, giving visitors the chance to explore the stories, achievements, and contributions celebrated across both commemorations.
We’re also presenting a special concert on Friday, March 27 featuring vocalist Rhonda Denet, who will lead audiences on a powerful musical journey celebrating the legacy and voices of trailblazing women in American music.
We look forward to welcoming visitors for a meaningful and engaging spring season at the Museum.
Our Home
The Museum is housed in the historic 1907 Justices Court Building in Glen Cove, a landmark listed on the State and National Register of Historic Places. Originally donated to the Museum by Sterling Glen of Glen Cove, the courthouse has been thoughtfully restored and now serves as an ideal permanent home for preserving and interpreting the history of Long Island’s North Shore.
Our Mission
The Museum preserves and interprets the history of Long Island’s North Shore — including the region once known as the Gold Coast — through responsible stewardship of its collections and historic 1907 Justices Court Building, and through exhibitions, lectures, and public programs that engage and educate the community.
Your support allows us to remain true to our mission to preserve yesterday for tomorrow
The Board of Trustees remains deeply committed to preserving the history of Long Island’s North Shore.
We advance this mission through educational programs, community lectures, and essential fundraising efforts. Each fall, our annual fundraiser culminates in a beautifully produced keepsake journal that celebrates our supporters and our work (click here).
Thanks to the generosity of our community, the restoration of our landmarked 1907 Justices Court Building is now complete. This includes the full installation of storm windows with UV‑protective glass — an upgrade that improves energy efficiency and provides critical protection for our collections.
Your continued support ensures that the Museum remains a vibrant, accessible resource for generations to come, safeguarding the stories and heritage of our region.
Membership gives you free year‑round admission and exclusive discounts on select events and programs, helping you stay connected to the history of the North Shore.
