The Future Of The Farm
The Marion Carll Farm committee has been meeting with the school board and local citizens to consider methods to preserve the historic home, according to Debbie Virga, the Commack district’s director of community relations. According to Virga, Commack is in desperate need of open space, and the farm would be great as a public park. Cynthia Clark is part of another effort to save the Carll Farm. She told News12 in her hometown that she is concerned that some of the plans being presented “may not preserve its historic nature according to Marion Carll’s wishes.” Clark’s proposal “includes a working organic farm, an education center and making the farm a restored historic site.”

The Huntington Historical Society
The nearby Huntington Historical Society is a good place to go if you want to learn more about Marion Carll, her family, or their wonderful historic property. The Carlls are documented in two volumes in the Society’s library. According to the organization’s website, “Edwin L. Soper (1917-1990) collected information about local families and their allied lines. He donated copies of his material on a regular basis and upon his death the remainder of his material was donated to the Resource Center.” Both books regarding the Carlls were left to the Society by Soper.
