Hicksville Museum and History
The Hicksville Gregory Museum offers educational and cultural exhibits and services related to earth and environmental sciences, natural history, and the history of Long Island. The Heitz Place Courthouse, which houses the museum, was built as a town hall in 1895. The museum thus brings together topics in natural and environmental sciences and local architectural history.
The Heitz Place Courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The dates mark two different milestones: the building was constructed as a town hall in 1895, and it was added to the register in 1974. If you plan to visit the museum, note its opening hours: Tuesday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Check the hours before your visit, as they may change.
