 The Union Free School District
in Seaford, a lively village of 500 residents in 1893, voted $3,500
that year for the construction of a school. This was Seaford's third
schoolhouse and was dedicated on Arbor Day in 1894. The building, originally
constructed on Jackson and Waverly Avenues, served as a school until
1917, when the school board decided that the district had outgrown
its present quarters.
On the opening of the Jackson Avenue school in 1921, the building was moved a block away and
became the headquarters for the Seaford Fire Department. On July 4,
1976, in commemoration of the Nation's Bicentennial, the structure,
now located on Waverly Avenue between Jackson and Southward was
dedicated as the Seaford Historical Museum.
The Museum houses much memorabilia of Seaford as a bay and farming town. Special
loans from other museums and private collections will be displayed on a rotating basis. Contributions of a
Financial or Historical nature are welcome.
