Mattituck-Laurel Historical Society and Museums is located on the corner of Main Road and Cardinal Drive, just east of Maratooka Lane in Mattituck. The Curator and Historian is Norman Wamback, a very personable and knowledgeable tour guide. The site has six historic buildings: the Ira Tuthill House, circa 1841, the Jesse Tuthill House, circa 1799; the "Out-Building" with 19th century farm equipment; the Milk House, circa 1850; Mattituck's first school hosue, circa 1780; and the west Mattituck school house, circa 1845.
