SAG HARBOR

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK

April 26 – May 2, 1926

About 40 merchants and businessmen of the village, invited to discuss the nuisance caused by littering on Main Street with papers and debris of various kinds, attended the regular meeting of the village trustees in the Municipal building. Village President Kiernan declared that at the present time, when thousands of dollars were being spent to advertise Long Island to the world, it was necessary that the village present its best appearance to the myriad of tourists who would visit Long Island. First appearances go far, he said.


An occasion of more than ordinary interest was scheduled to take place at Pierson auditorium. Part one of the entertainment presented by the primary classes would comprise of songs by grades one, two, and three under the direction of the teachers. Part two would consist of selections by the High School Girls’ Glee Club. Part three would be a playlet by pupils in grades four, five, six, seven, and eight entitled “Emily’s Dream.”


A delightful card party was held at the home of Mrs. J. D. Kelly for the benefit of the degree of Pocahontas. There were fifty-seven present. Miss Mary Battle made high score in pinochle, Mrs. George McFarland second, Mrs. J. D. Kelly third, and Mrs. George Cary fourth.

Parrish Road Show featuring the work of Candace Hill Montgomery

Now in its eighth year, the Parrish Road Show is the Museum’s annual creative off-site cultural engagement program. Every year, East End artists are invited to create new work for temporary projects and engage residents in their process. In an effort to deeply connect art and creativity to everyday life, the exhibitions take place at public sites across the region—cultural and historical organizations, public parks and highways, and community centers—and the artists offer public talks and artmaking workshops for children and adults.

The Sag Harbor Whaling Museum is planning to pilot the Sag Harbor Maritime Conservation Center for Children with a summer education program. The program consists of four one-week sessions in which students ages 8-12 take classes that integrate marine conservation, art projects inspired by the Museum’s collection, and visits from local artists, maritime industry professionals, and environmentalists.
Weekly session topics include:
· Ocean Cycles and ‘Up Cycling” Marine Debris – Learn about ocean conservation and the challenge of marine debris in our seas and beaches. The program culminates in creating an art piece from recycled debris. 
· Young Detectives - Learn about the life of Sag Harbor village children in ages past by deciphering clues from historical toys and objects. Design and build toys telling your story of village life today. 
· Luring a Fish (or Whale!) – Discover techniques used by fisherman over the last 400 years. Visiting fishermen can teach the children how it’s responsibly done today including how they build traps, nets, lures and even shellfish hatcheries. 
· A Young Person’s View: Telling Personal Stories Through Words and Pictures - Reflect on how villagers have told their stories of coastal life over time. Children work with local writers and artists to express their modern-day coastal experiences.
The objectives are to:
· Celebrate Sag Harbor’s maritime culture and history through the Museum’s collection and community. 
· Engage children with local artists, writers, tradesman, and maritime industry professionals. 
· Teach youth to engage with the waterfront and marine ecosystem in environmental responsible, culturally aware and creative ways.
The sessions will have a capacity of 10-12 students and will be held in the Whaling Museum’s galleries, classroom and grounds. The classes are designed and led by a qualified marine science educator and teaching assistant with contributions from the Museum’s Curator and special guests.
We ask that you kindly help us design our Pilot Program by providing feedback in the 1-minute survey here:
