Amelia Cottage Museum

The Amelia Cottage Museum, also called Miss Amelia Cottage and Roy Lester Carriage House, is a Colonial and Post-medieval English style house on Montauk Highway in Amagansett, New York, built in 1725 for Catherine Schellinger and moved to its present site in 1794. Mary Amelia Schellinger, the last resident, was born in the house in 1841 and lived there until about a year before her death in 1930, and tradition holds that about thirty Schellinger children were born within it. Operated today by the Amagansett Historical Association as a museum of three centuries of Amagansett family life, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 25, 1994.
