Constructed in 1875, the Sag Harbor Whaling and Historical Museum building was home to Benjamin Hunting II and his family. Visitors can tour the building and see the various rooms with their 19th century décor. Exhibits offer information on the whaling industry (which dates back to the 1700s) and how it helped Sag Harbor and other areas in the Hamptons flourish.
