Southold

Tradition and technology mix in the Southold Historical Society’s Colonial Herb Garden, which reopened in July.

The Community Action Southold Town, Inc., a North Fork non-profit, announced plans earlier this week to purchase a former church that already has a history of being used as a community building. 

The 1.3-acre property at 240 Briar Lane went into contract at full ask after just 13 days on the market in October, according to Thomas McCloskey, a broker with Douglas Elliman’s office in Cutchogue. The deal closed on December 21.
