On behalf of the 1653 Foundation, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who joined us for the Town of Huntington’s Founders Day — an afternoon of history, music, and community that reminded us all why this place is so worth celebrating.
Seeing so many neighbors, history lovers, and community stewards gathered together — sharing in the stories, the sounds, and the spirit of Huntington’s 370-year legacy — was truly inspiring. Your presence made the day everything we hoped it would be.
To those who made a donation: thank you. Your generosity directly supports the 1653 Foundation’s work to preserve Huntington’s history, restore the coastal landscapes our founders once walked, and invest in the environmental and cultural future of our hometown. It is a gift that will be felt for generations to come.
We are grateful for your trust, your enthusiasm, and your commitment to this community. The best way to honor the past is to protect it — and with your support, that’s exactly what we intend to do.
With heartfelt appreciation,
1653 Foundation
