Our story

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.
