The Setauket Village Green is shaped like a triangle. Over the years, the size of the green got smaller as they made the roads around it wider. It was used as a meeting place in the olden days. People didn’t have telephones, computers, or TVs to get information, so the whole community had to meet and they often did at the green.

The Old 1718 Schoolhouse was first on the green and then it was moved. A new schoolhouse was built across Dyke Road where the Caroline Church shed now stands. A newer school later replaced that, which is now Setauket Elementary School across the green on Main Street.

There are two large stones with plaques on the Green. The larger of the stones is to honor the people who died in the World Wars, the Vietnam War and the Korean War. The smaller boulder has a plaque that reads:

The Old Setauket Presbyterian Church and the Caroline Church surround the Green. These churches own the Green. It is also near the Emma S. Clark Library and many of the other interesting historical sights of Setauket.
