From 1880 to 1967, the Hopkins Family owned Muscoot Farm. At that point Westchester County acquired the property to help preserve the area's agricultural history. Today the farm is open to visitors, who can stroll through the original barns and visit animals. Muscoot also offers year-round events and activities for children and adults.

Bayport-Blue Point Public Library was founded in 1938 as a Blue Point Parent Teacher Association project. According to tradition, area residents donated books — gathered by wheelbarrow from people's homes — to start the collection. The library (whose logo is a wheelbarrow) has meeting rooms for public programs, a state-of-the-art reference department and departments and programming developed specifically for children, young adults and adults. The library parking lot is located on Madison Street (south of the library), with entrances on both Blue Point Avenue and Madison Street.
