Van Scoy Burial Ground

The Van Scoy Burial Ground, historically significant for its connection to educational and agricultural practices, is a site located at Northwest Harbor in East Hampton, a town in Suffolk County, New York, United States.

This location holds unique significance as it marks the site of a once-thriving schoolhouse and its associated history with the Van Scoy family, the local community, and their mutual arrangements.

While the original wooden structure has long since disappeared, the foundation stones that once supported the schoolhouse remain as a tangible link to the past.

The site offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where education, agriculture, and community cooperation intertwined to shape the landscape of East Hampton.

During the 18th century, this settlement encompassed fifteen expansive farms, a mill, a sawmill, and various wharves and warehouses situated along the shores of Northwest Harbor.
