If you own property in Cutchogue or New Suffolk and it is your primary voting residence, PLEASE vote Yes on the Ballot on 8/25
We have owned and maintained the Village Green and kept it open and in good shape for community use, which is something that is usually done by municipalities using taxpayer-based funding. We also keep the Green active with our events and offer its use to other non-profit organizations.
After the acquisition of the Old House, the Council systematically went about moving and restoring historic structures that were important to Cutchogue’s historical narrative and to advance local historic preservation. These include the School House, the Wickham House, the Red Barn, the Carriage House, and the Village Garage. These house museums hold thousands of objects from Cutchogue and New Suffolk’s past, and we display and care for these objects to help tell the story of our area’s history.
We have paid to have the Cutchogue Old Burying Ground maintained since 1960 and include a yearly allotment in our budget to catalog, restore, and clean the stones on the site. We also have written and received grants for this purpose and, at our expense, we used a professional site survey and uploaded the information to the searchable database on Billiongraves.com to aid the public in genealogical research.
We hope you will choose to support us by voting yes on the resolution. If you still have questions about the vote, please see our web page about it. https://www.cutchoguenewsuffolkhistory.org/contact-us/taxpayer-funding-initiative/
or email us at [email protected]
Please consider all we have done for the community in the past 67 years and vote yes, and encourage your friends and neighbors to do so as well, enabling us to continue our work for the community in the future.

Thanks to actor and educator Heléna Eilenberg, who performed at today’s event at the library called “Ask Mrs. Lincoln.” She provided an educational and entertaining perspective on the much-maligned first lady. The program was brought to residents at no charge through a cooperative effort between the Historical Council and the Cutchogue-New Suffolk Free Library. Ms. Eilenberg was captivating and had the audience enthralled for over an hour as she stayed in character, portraying Mary Todd Lincoln circa 1875. She answered audience questions during and after the performance and at the reception that followed. Pictured (L-R): Mark MacNish, Mariella Ostroski, Heléna Eilenberg, and Dawn Manwaring.
