Southampton’s
Treasured Trees
|
Friday, April 28, at 11:00am
Arbor day is a special day where we recognize some of our town’s longest standing residents, many of whom have had important jobs in the past. Well before concrete markers, 17th and 18th century surveyors used trees, especially white oaks, to mark property boundaries throughout Southampton. Join Town Historian Julie Greene to learn how these trees, called “lop trees” or “boundary marker trees,” were used and where they still exist today.

Southampton History Museum
Hosted monthly – click the link below for dates and ticket info
————————-
|
Ever wanted to be a ghost hunter? Join the crew of the Long Island Paranormal Investigators as we spend the night exploring the 1843 Rogers Mansion and find out what it really takes to be a Paranormal Investigator. You will get a chance to participate in experiments to test various paranormal theories, learn about the paranormal, hear great spooky stories and maybe even leave with one of your own.
Tours will begin with an introduction to who the Long Island Paranormal Investigators are and a crash course in the theories and devices to interact with and document paranormal beings. Following this 15-minute introduction guests will then begin a 45 minute investigation of the Rogers Mansion to put some of their newly learned theories to the test.
