Family Treasures with Tales to Tell

July 22 – October 10 | 11:00 am – 3:00 pm

Hallockville Museum Farm’s Summer 2022 exhibit features recent donations to the collection, each with its own story. These pieces include a candlewick bedspread made in 1829 by a grandmother who wanted to be remembered by her namesake granddaughter; a spinning wheel engraved with the maker’s name unlocking the provenance of other wheels in the Museum’s holdings; a collection of quilts sewn by close relatives of the Hallock’s revealing a family secret. Many of the artifacts in the exhibit demonstrate the connections between the Hallock family and their North Fork community.
