Oysterponds Historical Society (OHS) is a cultural hub for Orient and East Marion residents and visitors. By presenting our rich repository of documents, artifacts, and experiences in exhibitions, programs, events and education, OHS seeks to preserve and strengthen that special “sense of place” that we all treasure. OHS’s 60,000+ artifacts reflect more than two centuries of North Fork life and cul

ture and its buildings represent significant examples of local architecture. The diverse collection includes 18th, 19th, and 20th century furniture, notable maritime paintings, decorative arts, and local tools. The Museum’s substantial collection of historic documents and photographs is open to researchers by appointment. Box 70
