Hosted by the Three Village Historical Society, families are welcome to experience the annual Culper Spy Day, which includes story time, timber house building, lawn games, colonial toy making, crafts, and invisible ink demonstrations. 

The Three Village area is full of hidden intrigue and stories of how America’s first spy ring secretly provided General George Washington with the information he needed to turn the tide of the American Revolution.​

On Culper Spy Day, visitors will have the chance to visit the places where history was made and learn about the patriots who risked their lives. A collaboration of more than 30 historical and cultural organizations - from Montauk to Manhattan - will gather in the Three Village area for an activity-filled day that will highlight the amazing history behind George Washington’s Culper Spy Ring.

Activities throughout the day will include both self-guided and docent-led tours of historic homes and sites. There will be Revolutionary War Encampments, colonial cooking demonstrations, musical performances, mobile exhibits, and re-enactors on the rebel and loyalist sides.

A special Culper Spy Ring gift shop is sure to please visitors of all ages.

In partnership with the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation, TVHS launches their first augmented reality app 1776 AR as part of the Culper Spy Day celebration.

The event is free and open to the public. Fees and / or timed ticketing may apply for certain activities. Rain date is Sunday, September 10.
