What Sackets Harbor Historical Society does
Mission
The mission of the Sackets Harbor Historical Society is to preserve and promote the historical, architectural and cultural legacy of sackets harbor. Founded in 1801, the village of sackets harbor is one of the oldest communities in northern new york, and played a pivotal role in the war of 1812. The historical society was formed in 1976, at a time when sackets harbor was a near ghost town and many of its historic buildings were empty and decaying. The historical society helped lead the effort to revive sackets harbor through the rehabilitation and preservation of its historic buildings. It educated community leaders and residents on the importance and efficacy of historic preservation in community renewal. The historical society supported the village's efforts to become a participating community member in new york state programs created to assist community renewal, such as the nys heritage area program and local waterfront revitalization program.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Program
A substantial part of our work in performance of our mission is the actual preservation of historic buildings. Over the years, the historical society has acquired three historic buildings that were threatened with destruction or substantial damage to their historic features. We were able to rehabilitate two of these buildings (1837 bank building and 1808 samuel hooker house) through state and local grants, as well as donations of money, materials and labor from individuals and businesses. Parts of both buildings are used for non-profit activities. We also have acquired a third building (1823 former episcopal church), for which we have been awarded another state grant and are doing a fundraising effort to match that grant.the best way to preserve historic buildings is to have them actively used. Maintenance and up-keep of historic buildings is very expensive. It can be a huge drain on the resources of our small organization and community. We are able to rent out a portion of the bank building and samuel hooker house. This rental income is critical to help pay for the on-going maintenance, utilities, insurance, etc. Of these old buildings.
