History Matters

Letter from the Director

—————-

Dear Friend,

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Winter Lecture Series and for the exhibit opening at Clinton Academy this month. It’s wonderful to witness such robust interest in East Hampton history.

This February’s History Matters newsletter has a new format. Rather than having the entire post in the email itself, you’ll see just the first few sentences with a hyperlink to read the rest of the piece on our website. This way you can review everything at a glance, rather than having to scroll through to the end.

I’m also thrilled to announce the launch of the East Hampton Historical Society’s digital guide on the Bloomberg Connects mobile app. Details about the guide and instructions on how to access it are described below. It’s a fantastic way to explore East Hampton history and stay connected with the Historical Society.

If you want to share feedback on the newsletter format or the Bloomberg Connects app, please email or call me at 631.324.6850, x3.

Thank you for being part of the East Hampton Historical Society!

Sincerely,

Steve Long, Executive Director
