The Red Barn

This Victorian era Red Barn houses the Council’s collections of farming implements, woodworking tools, native American Artifacts and newest meeting space.

In pre-industrial societies, most Cutchogue people worked as agricultural laborers. Of note is the “white asparagus ridger” and the mechanical corn huller.

Native American Artifacts uncovered through cultivation of crops on the local farms are also on exhibit. Of note is the collection donated by Cutchogue native, Richard W. Gratwhohl,  providing  evidence of the local tribe known as the Corchaug Indians.

Also on display is the WWI Honor Roll that that was originally dedicated in 1918. Local farming family names can be identified on this beautiful memorial.

Built in 1865 behind the Presbyterian Manse next door to the Village Green, the barn was used to house the minister’s horse and buggy. It was acquired for preservation, relocated and restored on the present site in 1964 and enlarged in 2002.
