Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and reflect on his extraordinary life, his legacy, and his powerful words that continue to resonate today. Dr. King journeyed to Long Island several times, including the month before he was assassinated. Here he addresses a rally with L. I. CORE in the Lakeview area on May 12, 1965.

2024 Historic Preservation Award Spotlight: Anthony Martignetti & The Mattituck Mill Renovation 🌊

We are excited to honor Anthony Martignetti at the 2024 Historic Preservation Awards for his exceptional renovation of the Mattituck Creek Tide Mill, also known as the Old Mill. Located on the Mattituck Inlet, the mill has been a defining feature of the hamlet’s landscape for over two centuries, serving as both an industrial powerhouse and a beloved gathering place.

Built in 1822, the mill represents the ingenuity of tide-powered milling. Over the years, it transitioned into a restaurant and tavern, becoming a hub for social life in the region. When Anthony purchased the mill in 2018, it faced significant structural challenges, but he was determined to preserve its legacy.

Guided by the New York State Historic Preservation Office, the restoration process included:
✅ Lifting the building 5 feet to meet FEMA guidelines.
✅ Installing a new 67-pile foundation and bulkhead seawall.
✅ Preserving its timber framing and historic architectural details.

Anthony reflects on the restoration:
This building is at the heart of Mattituck, and restoring it has been an incredible journey. The Old Mill has brought people together for generations, and I hope it will continue to do so for years to come.”

The reopening of the Old Mill as a restaurant in Spring 2025 will revitalize the Mattituck Inlet, breathing new life into a historic community hub and ensuring its story continues to be told.
