MLHS Open House09/19/2020 - 1:00 AMMattituck, NY |
|
| Mattituck Laurel Historical Society & Museums P.O. Box 766, Main Road (Route 25), Mattituck, NY 11952 mlhistoricalsociety.org • webmaster@mlhistoricalsociety.org Open by Appointment or when Open Flag is out! (Special tours available) Open House at 1790 School House Eagle Scout Justin Garbarino has been working for some time with his Boy Scout Troop 39 to create a new exhibit in the 1790 School. He re-imagined the school house interior. Four farmhouse benches were built using reclaimed pine wood, based on a 1700s drawing he found during his research. School related artifacts annotated with historical documentation were distributed throughout the school house and he placed a donated Windsor chair in the schoolhouse. Finally, he draped a replica "76" flag from the 1976 Bicentennial across the back wall and installed a glass cabinet to display original and replica school items. The work took place from fall of 2019 until May 2020. The schoolhouse had set unused for some time. Garbarino's work has now been completed, and will be on public exhibit for the first time during an Open House on September 19. We will celebrate the newly curated exhibits on the grounds of the Historical Society on Saturday, September19, from 11 AM to 4PM. We plan to have Girl and Boy Scouts recreate the feeling of the late 18th Century on Long Island with a table for calligraphy and quill-writing, a station for outdoor cooking, butter churning, antique items, woodworking, a demo with milk paint, and more. Refreshments will include homemade baked goods and a drink station. We will also provide tours of the buildings guided by docents in period dress. Towards the end of the Open House, we will have a brief ceremony to honor those who have contributed to the 1790s Schoolhouse project. Admission will be FREE! PLEASE NOTE: Due to the impact of the Coronavirus, the MLHS will be using 'best practices' during this event, including: • Attendee self-distancing (6 feet spacing) • All attendees MUST wear a mask for the safety and protection of all who attend. If you feel you cannot do so, please do not attend. Masks and hand sanitizer will be available to those who need them. |
