Dating back over 300 years to its purchase from the Secatogue Native Americans by John Mowbray for a handful of eel spears, Bay Shore has enjoyed a rich and varied history. Home to business tycoons and summer playground for the rich and famous, Bay Shore has been the beloved hometown of families for generations.
The Bay Shore Historical Society has a collection of hundreds of vintage photographs. Many are on display throughout the house. The Society's Historical Reference Library for Bay Shore is a resource for the community.
