PORT WASHINGTON IN 360 – Where history surrounds you
Take a virtual journey to dozens of spots around Port Washington, one 360-degree view at a time. Discover unique perspectives and locations from across town — some surprisingly new, others now vanished — and hear the stories and history behind each location. Chris Bain, the President of the Cow Neck Peninsula Historical Society will be our guide on this visual presentation.

Cow Neck in the Revolution
The area we now call Port Washington was occupied by the British for seven years during the Revolutionary War. Local families suffered immense hardship: they were forced to quarter enemy troops, had their children pressed into service, and even endured pirate attacks. Some Cow Neck Patriots bravely fought for American freedom while others assisted the revolutionary cause in secret – and some yet remained loyal to the Crown. These stories are explored in Cow Neck in the Revolution, presented in collaboration with the Cow Neck Peninsula Historical Society in celebration of 250 years of American independence. On display in the History Center Annex June through December 2026.
