Southold Winterfest was a Wonderful Success!
We were pleased to welcome so many visitors to the Maple Lane Complex this past weekend during Southold Winterfest 2023! It was a beautiful day and the hamlet was filled with people enjoying the festivities.
————
Children participated in a fun craft in the Bay View Schoolhouse, and our docents were on hand to give tours of the historic buildings. Thanks to all our volunteers at the Complex and in both our shops! We were also happy to welcome Southold Indian Museum, which offered a special exhibit in the Reichert Family Barn. We’re looking forward to next year’s festivities!

Website Highlight: This item in our collection is a c. 1927 Mergenthaler Linotype Machine Model 8 on display in our Print Shop. While computers today do most printing rather quickly, this machine was a great innovation in its day, saving time and money in the publishing process.
——-
Called a “linotype”, it produced whole “lines of type” that were cast from molten metal by simply typing into the keyboard. These lines of type were then inked and turned into printed pages on the press.
