As America marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Suffolk County has created an official Passport Book โ your guide to historic sites, events, and commemorations across the county throughout 2026.
The Mastic Peninsula is at the heart of this story. William Floyd โ a Mastic resident โ was one of the signers. Download your free Passport and start exploring the places where history was made.
