The West Hempstead Historical Society, formed in 1983 as a community non-profit, will celebrate its 40th anniversary this year. Their mission is to collect and preserve historical materials relevant to our community and use them to educate the public about its rich history. The society has grown to over twenty active members who are passionate about the organization’s mission. They also maintain a vibrant Facebook community with over 1,200 followers who have sent many historical treasures over the years.
The West Hempstead Historical Society meetings take place generally at Riesterer’s Bakery at 11:30 on the third Wednesday of the month with the exception of the summer months.
