This scene shows the "head of the river" harbor with Peconic Bay sloops at rest.

Located off Peconic Bay on eastern Long Island, this locale was home to Native Americans who thrived on the abundant resources available. Shown with the tide out and the mud flats exposed, this scene is little changed from historic times.

The focal point of the Hallockville Farm Restoration, Miss Ella Hallock's house is the original family homestead. The back porch entry includes the oldest section of the house, root cellar and feeling of sanctuary and comfort with the weathered shingles and paving stones.

Typical of the northern oyster dredger, Modesty was built to harvest scallops and oysters from Peconic Bay and surrounding waters. Shown here under way with dredges overboard, she would make a run, head into the wind, pull the dredges, empty the harvest and repeat the tack until the hold was full…if luck was with them on that day.

Where potatoes and vegetables once grew, grapevines have become a symbol of Long Island's thriving wine industry.

This present day scene along Sound Avenue has changed little with the exception of telephone poles since Civil War times.
