The Kissam Family Collection is a collection of all known artifacts related
to the history of the Kissam Family in America c. 1640-present. Many of these objects, including furniture,
decorative arts, paintings, photographs, and documents, have been donated through the Kissam Family Association to the Huntington Historical Society in Huntington, Long Island, NY. The Society owns the Dr. Daniel Whitehead Kissam House and has agreed to be the respository of the collection and to display appropriate objects at the Kissam House on Park
Avenue in Huntington. Other objects remain in private and public collections,
many belonging to descendants of the original owners.
The objects below represent part of a growing collection. The Kissam Family Association is eager to locate
and identify other objects related to the history of the Kissam Family in America. Portraits, inscribed jewelery, furniture,
documents and other ephemera are only some of the items that continue to surface.
