Wainscott Heritage Project was formed in 2021 by a small group of concerned citizens resolved to preserve the history and cultural character of Wainscott.
The founding purpose to save the "Little House", which had served as tenant housing for African American farm workers at the former Strong Farm on Wainscott Hollow Road, led to a greater mission of protecting Wainscott's historic structures and significant viewsheds.
WHP aims to encourage programs that foster and maintain an appreciation for the hamlet’s traditions and sense of community.

We are so thankful for our inaugural Little House Award Honorees, Barbara and Dennis D’Andrea, who embody our mission and have supported our efforts from the start. Like us, they saw the Little House as a symbol for Wainscott; they understood better than most what was to come, having witnessed so much change already. Our gratitude is infinite for the D’Andreas! And we thank everyone who came to our Gathering in the Garden to celebrate them and who contributed so greatly to support our mission.
Our special fundraiser for the Little House raised over $8,000!
