The Sag Harbor Whaling and Historical Museum is at 200 Main Street, in an 1845 house built for a whaling-ship owner. The whole business district is the Sag Harbor Village District on the National Register of Historic Places.

History

Sag Harbor was a major whaling port; the first offshore whaling ships left in 1760 and Long Wharf was built in 1771. In 1789 it was declared the first official port of entry to the United States. The whaling trade peaked in the 1840s before kerosene displaced whale oil.
