NYS Senator Dean Murray presented a NYS Senate Resolution, which passed overwhelmingly earlier this year in the Senate, to the Yaphank Historical Society in recognition of its 50th anniversary at the Swezey-Avey House in Yaphank, NY.
The Yaphank Historical Society was founded in 1974 by a group of concerned and dedicated residents who saw a need to preserve the hamlet’s rich heritage. The Society currently maintains and manages four historic houses, three of which are on the National Register of Historic Places. It also provides ongoing stewardship for several small historic burial grounds and the Carmena River Nature Trail and Sanctuary. The Society aims to continue restoration and preservation efforts within the historic district.
“Thank you to the Historical Society for all you have done to protect the rich history of Yaphank’s past to continue to enrich its future,” said NYS Senator Dean Murray, 3rd Senate District.
