Hallockville Museum Farm presents, “Winter Lecture Series: Exploring Land, History and Traditions”. This three-part series is sponsored by Hampton Coffee Company and explores important facets at the core of the Museum Farm’s mission: honoring the land, celebrating history, and sharing traditions. Hampton Coffee Company, a local café and roaster, will begin each lecture with a presentation about their coffee philosophy and with samples.
February 2nd (1pm to 3pm): “With a North Fork perspective, what reason the Long Island Rail Road?” Presenter, Don Fisher – President of the Railroad Museum of Long Island.
We will explore the 19th Century reasons for creating the Long Island Rail Road, why it bisected our North Fork to terminate in Greenport. We’ll enjoy some early “not in my back yard” stories from Riverhead and Southold Towns and see that over time, the railroad came to be accepted and benefit the inhabitants of the East End.
