Sands-Willets House

Celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary at the historic Sands-Willets House in Port Washington on Saturday, July 25, 2026, from 12-4 p.m. Admission is free!
The Cow Neck Peninsula Historical Society will mark America’s 250th anniversary with a special open house celebration on Saturday, July 25, from 12-4 p.m. at the historic Sands-Willets House at 336 Port Washington Blvd. in Port Washington.
The event will honor the Revolutionary-era legacy of the Sands family and the role the Cow Neck Peninsula played in the fight for independence. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the circa 1735 Sands home, where the seven sons of John Sands III were born and raised, becoming Patriots during the American Revolution. As visitors explore the property, Revolutionary War reenactors and period music will help recreate the spirit of the era. The Historical Society will also honor local Patriots buried in family cemeteries in the Port Washington area.
At the July 25 event, knowledgeable docents will be on hand, sharing stories of colonial life, Revolutionary-era events and the peninsula’s rich local history. 
For this special anniversary event, visitors can peruse all 10 rooms of the Sands-Willets House, a rare opportunity to wander through the historic property at their own pace. Visitors can also explore the Society’s circa 1690 Dutch Colonial barn, which houses antique farming and shell-fishing implements. Free parking at Vincent Smith School.

At Glenhead Martial Arts &amp; Fitness, we believe martial arts is about much more than punches and kicks. It's about helping children and adults become healthier, more confident, and more resilient in every aspect of life.
As a family-owned dojo serving Glen Head and the surrounding North Shore communities, we've created an environment where students of all ages can thrive. Whether your child is shy and looking to build confidence, needs help developing focus and discipline, or simply wants to stay active in a positive environment, our instructors are committed to helping every student reach their full potential.
Our programs emphasize respect, perseverance, leadership, self-confidence, and healthy habits that extend far beyond the dojo. While many of our students train recreationally for fitness and personal growth, others have gone on to compete at the highest levels of the sport.
Our coaching staff includes former Team USA athletes, national champions, and international medalists. Today, we're proud to have athletes representing Team USA on the world stage, including the nation's #1-ranked woman at 55 kg and the #1-seeded athlete on the USA Junior Team in the Girls 12-13 (-52 kg) division. Their success demonstrates what's possible through dedication, hard work, and a supportive community.
Despite these accomplishments, our greatest source of pride isn't the medals. It's watching students gain confidence, make lifelong friendships, overcome challenges, and grow into respectful, resilient young adults.
Whether your goal is learning self-defense, improving fitness, earning a black belt, or simply giving your child a positive outlet after school, Glenhead Martial Arts &amp; Fitness welcomes beginners of all ages and experience levels.
Come experience why so many local families have made our dojo their second home.
