About Greenport

Greenport was first settled in 1682; the village was incorporated in 1838. As its dozens of classically beautiful historic homes attest, Greenport was then a major whaling and shipbuilding center. In 1844, it became the eastern terminus of the North Fork branch of the Long Island Railroad – Commodore Vanderbilt himself made the first passenger run. Today, the North Fork’s excellent wineries and farm-to-table cuisine have helped make Greenport the delightful destination it is: a relaxed yet sophisticated weekend and vacation spot whose “season” just seems to start earlier (with the first buds of spring) and end later (when the whole world comes for pumpkins) with each passing year.

Dining and shopping choices grow more attractive each year; the art and antiques culture deepens as it grows. In addition to sailing, boating, fishing and hiking, there’s golf at Island’s End. Above all, there’s the opportunity to spend some relaxed time as a cherished guest in the most beautiful mansion in one of the most beautiful places on earth: Tapestry House on Long Island’s North Fork. We invite you to view the video about Greenport Village:
