Southold Historical Museum collaborated with CAST, the Center for Advocacy, Support and Transformation, and some of its clients for an evening of family fun, games, tours and a barbecue at the Nautical Museum at Horton Point Lighthouse.
———
The Museum welcomed the guests to also step inside the lighthouse to learn about the maritime history of Southold. CAST offered simultaneous Spanish translation for visitors. Additionally, they translated some of the Museum’s section panels into Spanish so that future Spanish-speaking visitors can learn about the local maritime history as well. Tours of the Nautical Museum included all new exhibits, a climb to the top of the tower and beautiful sunset views.
———
The Nautical Museum is open to the public Saturdays and Sundays, 11:30 – 4 through Sept. 17.

This coffee grinder in our collection was manufactured in the late 1800s by The Charles Parker Company of Meriden, CT.
———
Today we have electric coffee grinders, pods and drip coffee makers, but the grinding mechanism on this piece was revolutionary for its time. The company received a patent in 1855.
———
Beans are placed in the upper chamber. Inside the hand-cranked machine are two grooved, conical grinding cavities with one cavity placed directly above the other. The upper grinder serves as a cracker, and the lower grinder reduces course grinds into the requisite degree of fineness. The construction enabled the user to grind more rapidly with the same expenditure of power.
———
If it looks heavy, that’s because it is. It’s made of cast iron and weighs over 40 pounds.
———
It was built to last a lifetime.
