This Historic church was designed by famous architect Stanford White in 1889. Two special points of interest are the stained glass window behind the altar and the Tracker pipe organ. The window, which was fabricated by the Mayer Company of New York City represents the ideal of Caritas (Charity) by depicting a wealthy woman giving a coin to a beggar. The window is dedicated in the memory of Jonas and Nancy Smith of the Smith family from whom Smithtown takes its name. The Smiths donated funds for the stained glass windows. In 2001 All Souls was placed on the National Historic Registry of historic sites.

Toward the end of the Great Depression, Ward Melville, his wife Dorothy Melville, Robert Cushman Murphy, Winifred Curtis and O.C. Lempfert created the Suffolk Museum on the very site that now houses The Jazz Loft.  As their collections grew it was moved to its current location. The Long Island Museum of American Art, History, and Carriages, informally known as the Long Island Museum, is known for its collection of over 200 carriages and its extensive array of work by famed painter William Sidney Mount and over 4000 other paintings, sculptures and prints. The museum has been accredited by the American Association of Museums since 1973 for excellence in exhibitions, programs and collection care. In 2006 the museum joined a small group of institutions nationwide as a Smithsonian Affiliate.

This arboretum/preserve was created by its founder in memory of his son. It is a nature lover’s paradise with more than 80 acres of trails, a wildflower meadow, habitat for numerous woodland animals, many species of ferns and massive oak trees.  It is located on Harbor Road, off Main Street, across from Stony Brook Grist Mill.  It is open to the public year round from dawn to dusk and is free of charge.
