Welcome to Frank Melville Memorial Park

Frank Melville Memorial Park was established in 1937 by Ward Melville in memory of his father, a gift from Mrs. Frank Melville Jr. The 26-acre park features five historic structures, including a Greek Revival post office, a replica grist mill, the last miller’s cottage, a 20th-century barn, and the Bates House. Set near the Setauket Village Green and historic churches, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The park includes an estuary, natural woodland, and over 200 plant species, with scenic trails winding toward Conscience Bay and the Caroline Church.
