Matinecock Lodge Historical Society
14 West Main Street
Oyster Bay, N.Y. 11771

Near the corner of South Street,
adjoining historic Raynham Hall on the west

Over the years the Society has accumulated considerable material on Underhill history and genealogy, much of it still unpublished. This collection was maintained in the home of David Harris Underhill until his death in 1936, and spent the next 45 years in storage. In 1981 space was leased in the Townsend Society’s house at Oyster Bay, NY, as a headquarters for the Underhill Society and a museum-library for its collection.

After the sale of the Townsend house, the museum/library has relocated to the Matinecock Lodge at 14 West Main Street in Oyster Bay. The Society employs an archivist to prepare the collection for researchers to use.
