It'd been 20 years since I'd last visited Montauk and Second House Museum had not been there back then. This museum is a treasure. Lawrence the developer and curator of the museum is amazing full of knowledge and history. The museum has a simple but flowing layout to help teach about the different phases of the lives and history of the Montauk and other Native American Tribes. Also has a charming garden. Visiting the Second House museum was a highlight on my holiday.

This is a good museum for the family. They are trying to raise money for a native american museum as well. I hope they open it soon. So much history in this town

I couldn't improve on the review offered by my eight-year old child:

"The Montauk Historical Society's American Indian Museum is very poor. The artifacts are not even from Native American times. There are just a couple of beads on a string and some pieces of stone and wood. The person running it is very rude, especially to children."

Seriously, this sums it up nicely. Don't waste your money (the admission charge is preposterous). It's sad that the wonderful Montauk Historical Society have associated themselves with the self-righteous, hectoring charlatan who ostensibly curates this (tiny) space. Save your dollars for the truly lovely Montauk Point Lighthouse, whose staff are knowledgeable, attentive and charming.

Our three grandchildren were out for the weekend and we were out and about town on an overcast day. We visited the Montauk Indian Museum just to check it out. Little did we know that this small house would open our eyes to our local history. The kids were fascinated by the beautiful murals and Larry Cook, the curator was as patient and informative as he could possibly have been. Asking and answering questions, fueling their imagination with stories of wooly mammoths and giant beavers and just being a great guy. We had a wonderful visit and don’t forget to check out the wigwam outside!

The director escavated the Indian arrow heads himself. He's a true conservationist. He's a retired firefighter who also helped with rescue efforts after 9/11

The experience of visiting the Indian Museum in Montauk exceeded our expectations! The creator, Lawrence, gave us a private tour with a passionate & informative history lesson that left us so appreciative! It was really cool to learn what brought him to create this lovely museum. It's a must see in my opinion while in Montauk!

Although the Second House appeared to be closed when we recently visited, we enjoyed visiting the Indian Museum in the rear so much that we returned a second day with one of our grandchildren. Although this museum is very small, the docent was a storehouse of information and it was interesting to learn some local Indian history unfamiliar to us.

First time I visited the grounds was during a craft fair and the beauty in July was amazing. If you have not visited this as of yet a person should as it is pleasant to walk and view the grounds, besides the house (museum) History needs to be kept alive.
