Monday, October 11th, 2026: Columbus Day/Indigenous People's Day.

Columbus Day, a U.S. holiday that commemorates the landing of Christopher Columbus in the Americas in 1492, was unofficially celebrated in a number of cities and states as early as the 18th century, but did not become a federal holiday until 1937. For many, the holiday is a way of both honoring Columbus’ achievements and celebrating Italian-American heritage.

Since 1991, nearly 200 U.S. cities, several universities and a growing number of states have adopted Indigenous Peoples’ Day, a holiday that celebrates the history and contributions of Native Americans, alongside Columbus Day. The administration of President Joe Biden officially recognized Indigenous Peoples' Day in 2021, but it is not a federal holiday.

September 11th, 2021. Never Forget.

Today, the Miller Place–Mount Sinai Historical Society joins our community and our nation in remembering September 11, 2001.
Twenty-five years later, we remember the lives that were lost, the heroes who ran toward danger, the families forever changed, and the countless acts of courage and compassion that followed. For those of us on Long Island, the events of that day touched our communities deeply, and their impact continues through generations.
As a historical society, we believe that remembrance is part of preservation. We tell these stories so that future generations understand not only what happened, but also how ordinary people responded with extraordinary courage, kindness, and unity.
Today, we pause to remember. We honor those we lost. We thank those who served and sacrificed. And we carry their stories forward.

September 11, 2001 — We Remember. We Honor. We Will Never Forget.
