Sag Harbor Attractions
As early as 1707, Sag Harbor had established itself as a port and was one of the first two ports of entry created by Congress in 1789. The whaling industry was of great importance to Sag Harbor in the early days. Until 1871, when whaling died off, Sag Harbor was one of the largest whaling ports in the world.
Custom House
Built in 1789, the 18th-century home of the port's first U.S. Custom Master and displays historical documents and period furnishings. It also housed the first post office on Long Island in 1794.
Sag Harbor Whaling Museum
Sag Harbor Whaling Museum displays whaling equipment, oil paintings, ship models, fishing gear, and logbooks. Whaling began on Long Island in the 17th century and Sag Harbor was one of the busiest ports in the northeast during the 19th Century.
