Rye Historical Society is excited to announce Rye: A Coastal Community, a brand new exhibit opening September 15th. Discover how Rye’s location on Long Island Sound helped shape our unique city.

We explore all different aspects of our coastal community, beginning with the natural resources that attracted Indigenous people centuries ago. We also examine the industries that drove our economy, from farming, milling, shipbuilding, and fishing, to recreation along our beachfront. Looking at present day Rye, we honor on-going preservation efforts while considering the inherent risks of waterfront living.

Curated for all ages.

Exhibit is FREE and open Tuesday – Saturday, 10am to 4pm
