UPDATES
March 15, 2025 - Stairwell exterior is framed and blue skinned. Waiting on framing inspection!
March 3, 2025 - After delays due to weather and permit renewals, the Dominick Crawford Barn is finally moving forward! Thanks to last week’s warm weather, our contractors, Improvements by Design, poured the cement for the fireproof staircase leading to the second floor—and this weekend, they removed the forms! Look how great it looks!
Next up: finishing the roofline over the stairwell, moving the siding on-site, and installing the fascia around the perimeter. We know this has been a long journey, but we’re committed to getting every detail just right for you, our incredible community.
August 2, 2023 - Views from the second floor. Our barn build is truly moving on. Tom from Improvements By Design was kind enough to capture these shots for us 📸 It’s hard to believe how far we’ve come in just a few short weeks!
We are so excited to continue sharing our progress with you
June 27, 2023 - Why are we building a barn?
⛏️ The Dominick-Crawford Barn was destined for destruction.
Our efforts will preserve this piece of local history circa 1840.
📚 The Barn will provide a larger event space for programs, lectures, workshops, and education for learners of all ages.
👥 Our new barn will be accessible, inclusive, and an ADA compliant space to accommodate our diverse community.
🇺🇸 Our new facility will promote the educational and historical resources of the Three Village area.
April 27, 2023 - Construction has officially begun on the Dominick-Crawford Barn Education & History Center at TVHS! Footings have been poured - next step, foundation walls!
Three Village Historical Society + Museum (TVHS), an educational non-profit established in 1964, has been awarded a $350,000 grant from the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation a $300,000 grant from NY State Assemblyman Steve Englebright and a $300,00 grant from Suffolk County JumpSMART Downtown Business Investment Program to be used for repurposing the Dominick-Crawford Barn, an historically significant local building from circa 1840.
Utilizing elements from the original 1840 barn, the new structure, named The Dominick-Crawford Barn Education and History Center at TVHS will be located in the 2.26 acre field at the Society’s headquarters on 93 N. Country Road in Setauket.
The Education and History Center will include spacious teaching facilities, interactive exhibit space, as well as archive facilities that will be readily accessible to staff, local educators, students, and the public.
We are a hub for history and learners of all ages: creating educational experiences that spark curiosity, inspire critical thinking, and captivate the imagination. The center can accommodate small to moderate sized groups for community activities and events with a maximum occupancy of 183. TVHS is proud to serve the diverse Three Village community and beyond.
TVHS exists to educate the public about this area’s rich cultural heritage as well as protect and preserve local history. Destined for destruction, TVHS stepped in and saved the Dominick-Crawford barn circa 1840, originally located in Old Field, NY.
Upon procurement, our intention was to restore the barn's structural integrity, preserve its historic beauty, and convert it into usable space for both the organization and the public.
Due to increased building costs and delays, the projected cost to complete the center has nearly doubled since our initial fundraising campaign, with a total of $1.3 million.
All funds raised will go directly to this project.
