The Southampton Colonial Society is a non-profit organization located in Southampton, New York. It was founded in 1898 with the aim of preserving and promoting the history of Southampton and its colonial past. The society has a membership of over 300 volunteers who are dedicated to preserving the town's heritage and educating the public about its colonial history.

The society is responsible for managing and maintaining several historical properties in the town, including the Thomas Halsey Homestead, the oldest English-style house in New York State, and the Conscience Point Historic Site, which is believed to be the landing site of the first English settlers in Southampton.

The Southampton Colonial Society also organizes a range of educational programs and events throughout the year, including lectures, tours, and exhibitions. These events provide an opportunity for visitors to learn about the town's history, including its Native American heritage, colonial-era architecture, and significant contributions to the American Revolution.

The society relies on donations and fundraising efforts to support its operations and preservation activities. Its volunteers work tirelessly to ensure that the town's rich history is preserved for future generations to enjoy and appreciate.
