New Museum Pass
We are the very first library to purchase the new Museum Pass for Libraries through The Three Village Historical Society!
The Three Village Historical Society is located right in Setauket, just down the road from Emma Clark. This organization teaches the vibrant history of our local area from the indigenous peoples who first called this region home to General Washington’s undercover Culper Spy Ring and the academic wonders of Stony Brook University.
Three Village residents may borrow a pass from the Library for free admission for 4 adults and 4 children (under 18 years old). The pass includes a 20% discount on items in the historical society’s gift shop. This pass is “Print & Go”, which means patrons may print it from any computer (there is no need to pick up a physical pass from the library). To reserve a pass, Library cardholders may visit emmaclark.org/museum-passes.
Visitors who would like to book docent-led tours may email a copy of the pass to visit@tvhs.org with their preferred date and time.
This pass marks the 40th museum or cultural center in Emma Clark’s very popular Museum Pass collection, and the Library is thrilled that it is their neighboring institution.
Those who borrow passes through Emma Clark’s Museum Pass program are encouraged to share their adventures on social media with the hashtag #EmmaTakesMePlaces. Emma Clark Library may be found on Facebook @emmaclarklibrary and Instagram @emmaclarklibrary.
The Three Village Historical Society is dedicated to fostering local history education within our community. Through the collection and preservation of artifacts, documents, and other materials, we bring the rich stories of the Three Village area to life. Our mission is to explore the history of the people who have shaped this region from its earliest habitation to the present, ensuring that their stories are not just remembered but celebrated.

Borrow the Pass & Visit
We’ve recently acquired a Museum Pass to the 9/11 Memorial & Museum. The museum just began offering passes to libraries, and we immediately purchased one, as it was a museum that Three Village patrons have expressed interest in.
Three Village residents may borrow a pass for free admission for 2 adults and 2 children (under 18 years old) to the museum, located at 180 Greenwich Street in New York City (the Memorial is free to the public, and the Museum lists adult admission price on their website at $33). Those with a pass not only visit the museum for free, but also receive complimentary audio guides and a 20% discount to the museum store. Library cardholders may click here for more information and to reserve a pass. This is a physical pass that must be picked up and returned to the Library.
The Museum Pass program at Emma Clark Library features over 35 museums, gardens, historic sites, family-friendly attractions, and cultural institutions on Long Island and in New York City.

Historic Site Connected to the Culper Spy Ring Added to Emma Clark Library’s Museum Pass Collection
Setauket, NY – January 20, 2022 –
Emma Clark Library has recently added Raynham Hall Museum, located in Oyster Bay, to its very popular Museum Pass Collection. This museum complements the collection well and would be of particular interest to Three Village residents for its connection to the Culper Spy Ring, the group of George Washington’s spies during the American Revolution, which has strong roots in Setauket.
Raynham Hall Museum is the home of Robert Townsend (alias Samuel Culper, Jr.), one of the Culper Spy Ring agents. This engaging museum of history and espionage is open for docent-guided tours on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays at 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. It is open for self-guided tours, featuring an exciting, augmented reality experience on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays starting every hour from 1pm to 4pm.
Patrons who borrow a Museum Pass may receive free admission for two adults and two children (up to 17 years) for either a guided tour or self-guided tour in the education center. It also includes a 10% discount at the museum shop. This pass is a “Print on Demand”, which means there is no need to pick up or return a physical pass to the Library. Users may print the pass from any computer, even from home. To reserve a pass, Library cardholders may visit emmaclark.org/museum-passes.
The Museum Pass program at Emma Clark Library now features 34 museums, gardens, historic sites, and cultural institutions on Long Island and in New York City. The program encourages learning through experience and makes museum visits affordable for all. In 2021, there were 961 free museum visits for library patrons.
Those who borrow passes through Emma Clark’s Museum Pass program are encouraged to share their adventures on social media with the hashtag #EmmaTakesMePlaces. Emma Clark Library may be found on Facebook @emmaclarklibrary, Instagram @emmaclarklibrary, or Twitter @ESCML.
The mission of Raynham Hall Museum is to enable visitors of the nearly 300-year-old Townsend family home in Oyster Bay to experience what it meant to be prominent merchants and heroic patriots, and to become engaged in the worlds of espionage, domestic life and the decorative arts. For more information on the Raynham Hall Museum, visit raynhamhallmuseum.org.
The Emma S. Clark Memorial Library, located at 120 Main Street in Setauket and on the web at www.emmaclark.org, provides public library service to all residents of the Three Village Central School District.
