Friends of Carrington’s mission is to steward and advocate for the historic Carrington Estate while restoring and honoring its history and potential as a welcoming and inclusive center for arts and culture. This mission is supported by the LGBTQ+ communities of Cherry Grove and Fire Island Pines and the National Parks Service, as a project which will not only benefit the Fire Island communities, but the United States at large, with the creation of a place where LGBTQ+ stories, histories and talents are shared and honored.
