Davis Town Meeting House

Davis Town Meeting House The Lester H. Davis House, circa 1750, is located at the junction of Middle Country Road and Coram-Mt. Sinai Road in the hamlet of Coram, New York, 11727.

Home of Davis Town Meeting House Society Inc. Davis House (known as the Davis Town Meeting House until the Town of Brookhaven renamed it in the summer of 2013) is owned by the Town of Brookhaven and is sponsored by the Davis Town Meeting House Society, Inc.; a registered NYS not-for-profit which was formed exclusively for the charitable purpose of maintaining and preserving the Lester H. Davis Hou

se. The Society works directly with the Town of Brookhaven Department of Parks and Recreation as well as the Town Historian on design, maintenance, and fundraising for the restoration and conservation of this wonderful bastion of antiquity that is listed in the National Register of Historical Places and is a designated Brookhaven Town Landmark. By doing so, the Corporation will lessen the financial burden on the Town as well as bring benefit to the residents of the Town of Brookhaven. We are currently in the process of also securing a not-for-profit status with the IRS known as a 501(c)(3). This will permit the Davis Town Meeting House Society, Inc. to in the future offer tax deductible opportunities for donations to be used toward the interior development and future conservancy efforts. Completion of the interior will be a multi-year effort due both to the extensive scope of work as well as to the financial restoration demands. Membership in the Davis Town Meeting House Society is open to everyone throughout the world. The only requirement is an interest in the conservation of this historical landmark. See our website www.DavisTownMeetingHouse.org for full details on the Society and how you can become a member! Mailing address is: PO Box 4, Coram, NY 11727
Physical address is: 263 Middle Country Rd. Coram, NY 11727 (not for mailing purposes)

They were very interested in our hero of the Revolution Goldsmith Davis. Come and take a selfie on the front lawn and pick up Goldsmith’s trading card. Thank you Ann, Iyna, and Stephanie!

There was a wonderful turnout at the Davis Town Meeting House today to hear the Declaration of Independence read in its entirety by Fynn Grills who then changed out of his coat and put on the regimental colors to join the fight! His mother Ashley hugged him proudly. Many attendees signed a copy of the Declaration in Goldsmith Davis’ tavern then enjoyed tours of the building by our docents in period clothing. We appreciate the support of the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation for this event. The Foundation also supported the restoration of the Davis Burying Ground nearby, final resting place of six Patriots. Huzzah!

On June 25, 2026, the Town of Brookhaven held an official Town Council meeting at the Davis House in Coram as part of the America 250 Celebration. Dressed in Colonial attire, elected officials and staff conducted business on the porch of the Davis House, which served as the seat of town government for nearly 100 years. After Supervisor Dan Panico called the meeting to order by ringing a hand bell, the Third NY Regiment and Scout Troop 64 presented the colors. Councilwoman Jane Bonner recognized four Eagle Scouts for their achievements. President Thomas Jefferson read the Declaration of Independence aloud to resounding applause from the crowd gathered under the front lawn tent. An ill-timed automated sprinkler added some mirth to the proceedings, enjoyed especially by members of the Davis Town Meeting House Society.
