The Sterry Stone

Our blog is always getting updated with all kinds of different great info you should check out. Specifically this weeks big post is about the Sterry Stone. A tombstone in the North End Burying Ground with an interesting story. Click here to check it out!

Since we’ve all been stuck in our homes, we’d like to invite you to travel within your mind. This week’s Cabin Fever Therapy will feature “Travel Tales”! Share your most wonderful stories about a time you’ve traveled someplace exciting, interesting or life-changing. We could all use a day dream of a happier time, so bring your beach towels and sunglasses. If you need assistance setting up Zoom, email: techsupport@myrml.org. Co-Sponsored with the Rogers Memorial Library.

Thursday, April 23rd, 11am

Even though the doors of the Rogers Mansion are closed, we are still going to be able to showcase our current main exhibit High Style in the Gilded Age: Southampton 1870-1930 with you live on Zoom. Our Research Center Manager Mary Cummings will be doing short talks on each of the 12 women highlighted in the exhibit. Beginning with Jeanette Ralston Chase Hoyt, join us live to hear all about her fascinating life and connection to the famous artist William Merritt Chase. Co-Sponsored with the Rogers Memorial Library.

If you missed last weeks lecture by Director of Education Connor Flanagan on our One-Room Schoolhouse, you can now watch it anytime you want on YouTube! All Zoom lectures will be recorded and uploaded to YouTube for anyone who misses the live lecture.
