The Pilgrim Psychiatric Center hosts The Long Island Psychiatric Museum. It offers a collection of memorabilia, artifacts, and photos representing the history of the Pilgrim Psychiatric Center.

Pilgrim State Hospital was created by the Legislature in 1929. It was named for Dr. Charles W. Pilgrim, Commissioner of Mental Health in the early 1900s. The hospital opened for the care and treatment of patients on 825 acres with 100 patients on October 1, 1931. Nine months later, 2,018 patients were hospitalized at Pilgrim. The census rose to its peak in 1954, with 13,875 patients.
