Halsey House & Garden
Margaret D. Sullivan Herb Garden
The garden behind the Halsey House was dedicated to Margaret D. Sullivan (1941-2121) on August 4, 2022, in honor of her legacy as an ardent supporter of the Southampton History Museum, especially Halsey House, and her love of gardening. The garden's design is inspired by historic European practices of parterre gardening. Each parterre features a different variety of plants commonly cultivated by Southampton's colonial inhabitants.
