**************************************************

Please join us in kicking off the summer with our second annual Community Stars event! Each year we honor different members of our community for their contributions to Bridgehampton. Dai Dayton and Charlie Marder are two Bridgehamptonites who have made preserving and improving the environment a focus of their lives. They play key roles in creating ways for the public to enjoy nature and in helping to protect our delicate East End ecosystem.

Come and join us at the newly renovated Nathaniel Rogers House to see all of our new exhibits and to celebrate Dai and Charlie as true Community Stars.

Photos of the Hamptons 1887-1910 with Randy Kolhoff

Saturday, May 18 at 5pm

The Nathaniel Rogers House

——————

A historical visual journey through the east end circa 1887-1910 via the photography of William Garrett Howard. Howard was the son of a Greenport photographer, born and raised on the east end of Long Island. His Sag Harbor studio was established in 1881 and spent the rest of his life capturing the vibrancy and personality of the Hamptons until his untimely demise in 1915. Join Randy Kolhoff, owner of Black Swan Antiques, who stumbled upon these in a centuries-old barn on Amity Street in Sag Harbor as he shares the stories they hold and his journey in digitizing and researching this local history treasure.
