KINGS PARK HERITAGE MUSEUM

The idea of having the Leo P. Ostebo Kings Park Heritage Museum began after the closing of one of the country's largest, oldest, most medically significant occupational therapy mental hospitals located in Kings Park. With a gathering of some high school students, retired KPHS English/History teacher Leo Ostebo and two other towns' people, the only school community managed museum in the United States is the continuous result of over 25 years of volunteer efforts. There are several plaques and awards that attest to this and to those who have been continually active in volunteering and providing resources, such as money, time, and energy to create this amazing community landmark.
