Opening Reception: Friday, June 28th, 5-7pm, Bridgehampton Historical Society, Corwith House Museum, 2368 Montauk Highway, Bridgehampton

The Bridgehampton Museum is hosting the second of two summer 2013 exhibit openings on Friday, June 28th at 5pm. “Next Stop, Seaside Board” reenacts the boarding house era from the Inn Keeper’s perspective within their own Corwith house museum. Boarding houses began well before the railroad arrived on Long Island’s east end. When it finally extended to Bridgehampton, however, in 1870, the hamlet began marketing itself as a summer retreat. Join curator Julie Greene for one of her popular curator’s talks, or stop in for tea, observe the owner’s preparations for Independence Day, and see a local villager weaving a basket for beach picnickers. There is much entertaining history to share about this important time of change in greater Bridgehampton.

Coming up in July, the Bridgehampton Museum will again host their popular “Cartoon Festival” offering inspired drawing instruction in the Charles Addams style. Several other events are planned for the summer of 2013, such as Beebe windmill tours, cemetery tours, antique shows and folk artist presentations. The Museum is open Monday through Saturday, 10am to 3pm, or visit bhmuseum.org for information.
