At the Museum campus, explore the history of the c. 1700s house where Jared Landon lived with his family. Jared volunteered to remain in Southold to tend his family's house and farm while many fled to Connecticut to escape British occupation. His loyalty to the Patriot cause did not go unnoticed. The British arrested Jared for his sympathies and imprisoned him in New York City — a harsh punishment. Jared survived the ordeal and would go on to become Southold Town Supervisor from 1787–1789 and 1791–1795.
