Since its creation in 1961, the Roslyn Landmark Society has been at the forefront of the preservation movement on Long Island. Our mission is to preserve and promote the rich history and historical resources in the Village of Roslyn and the greater Roslyn area on Long Island's North Shore.
Today, with an ever-growing membership, the Roslyn Landmark Society offers educational programs for school children, operates the ca. 1680 Van Nostrand-Starkins House, holds monthly membership meetings on a variety of variety of topics, and continues to purchase and restore historic buildings.
Tucked away in a valley on Long Island's North Shore, Roslyn NY is a nationally recognized landmark preservation success story. Thanks to the hard-work and dedication of countless members, volunteers, and elected officials, the 340 year-old village is not only a showcase of historic American architecture, it is a vibrant community illustrating the economic benefits of good preservation policies.
