Historical Society Country Fair

The Cow Neck Historical Society will hold its Annual Country Fair at Port Washington’s landmarked Sands-Willets House (ca. 1738-1845).  We expect only sunny skies, but if it should happen to rain, the rain date is set for Sunday, September 11th.

We have activities just for kids – a petting zoo, pony rides, face painting, colonial-era games and a real fire truck to climb around in!  And, there will be Civil War re-enactors, fly tying demonstrations, exhibits, raffles and tours of the historic house.  The Sampawamps Colonial Band and the LI Banjo Society will be present for a day of music in a relaxed atmosphere.  And, if you like to shop, you can pick up bargains in antiques, basement “Trash & Treasures,”
boutique items and gently-used jewelry in superb condition.  Honey from Port Washington’s Dodge House bees will also be for sale.  We have a huge selection of used books of all kinds for sale at deep discounts.  You’ll be able to watch expert craftspeople demonstrate their crafts, enjoy hot dogs, corn on the cob, watermelon, popcorn, cotton candy and lots of other snacks, and get a home-made fruit pie to take home.  Now that’s a country fair!

Proceeds help to maintain the society’s two historic houses and underwrite our educational outreach.  We are located at 336 Port Washington Boulevard (at the corner of Homewood), Port Washington, New York.
