———————————————————-

This weekend is your last chance to visit the museum exhibits at Maple Lane Complex and the Nautical Museum at Horton Point Lighthouse before they close for the season.

——————

Head over on Saturday or Sunday to explore the exhibits and learn about the history of the area. Don’t miss the opportunity to see “Answering the Call: The History of Southold Fire Department” exhibit before it’s gone.  The Nautical Museum also features many new exhibits and special interactive stations for children. 

——————

We want to thank all of our volunteers and sponsors for making this season a success! We were so pleased to welcome visitors and tour groups from all over. You can still contact us to inquire about private tours for your group or club at 631-765-5500 or info@southoldhistorical.org.

Be sure to stay tuned for exciting upcoming community events throughout the year!

———————————————————-

Southold Historical Museum is always looking for new ways to expand our audience and we recently created a TikTok account. The first two videos posted already received over 1,600 views. 

——————

TikTok offers short form videos in a fun and informational format and appeals to a broader demographic than other social media accounts. Our summer interns created many of the videos we will be posting in the coming weeks and months!

We invite you to follow us @Southold.Historic to see our videos.

Israel Case made this charming, circa 1700s hooded cradle on display in the Thomas Moore/Samuel Landon House at the Maple Lane Complex. It was used to rock generations and generations of infants in the Case family ancestry to sleep. 

——————

A cradle can only be used for the first four months or so of a baby’s life, or until they are able to turn over. The gentle rocking motion of a cradle is believed to relax infants and help them fall asleep by. The confined space would help them to feel protected and secure during the night. 

——————

Israel Case was the ancestor of W. Courtland Case, who donated the item to our collection.

———————————————————-

Please join us for a Brick Dedication Ceremony on Saturday, Sept. 23 at 11am when we’ll unveil the newest bricks added to our beautiful Brick Garden at the Maple Lane Complex.

——————

The Brick Garden serves as a wonderful tribute and lasting legacy in our town. Please feel free to join us, or to contact us if you are interested in purchasing a memorial brick at info@southoldhistorical.org or 631-765-5500. Thank you.
