Sayville's oldest surviving building, the Edwards' Homestead is located on Edwards Street.  Matthew Edwards, son of the earliest settlers in Sayville, John Edwards and his wife Sarah,
built this house in 1785, at what is now Gillette Avenue and Edwards Street.  In 1838 his son James moved the house to its present site on Edwards Street at the end of Collins Avenue.
It is now a museum run by the Sayville Historical Society.
