Point Lookout Historical Society – Point Lookout NY

To All the Residents Who Love Our Charming Town,
Thank you all for your continued interest and support of the Point Lookout Historical Society. It is gratifying that so many have visited our interactive website http://www.pointhistorical.org for information, virtual exhibits and enjoying the online versions of The Community Outlook and Outlook Express at www.communityoutlook.org

Hardcopies of these publications are also distributed free of charge at the library and other locations around town.
This has been a difficult year for all of us and the PLHS has fallen short of much needed donations. If we want to save the Historical Society, it’s artifacts, documents, written and oral histories and photographs as well as Community Outlook archives and Civic Association records we must work together as a community. This is OUR HISTORY!

We need to pay rent for housing the PLHS collection, as we no longer have a free public space. We plan to invest in more interactive programs, new merchandise and exciting in person activities in 2021 including our Annual Beach Art Show.

For those of you who continue to support the PLHS, we again thank you. If you’re not yet a supporter, we encourage you to consider a donation, or even consider a recurring investment of an amount you’re comfortable with as all donations help.
Donations can be made on our website with a credit card or PayPal. https://www.communityoutlook.org

Checks can be sent to:
Point Lookout Historical Society
P.O. Box 822
Point Lookout, NY. 11569

Thank you so much and be assured your donation is 100% tax deductible and all donations will go directly to the PLHS and will be used wisely.
