Program Description
The Hallockville Museum re-connects the community with its agricultural heritage. The 28-acre farm preserves nineteen historic houses, barns and outbuildings ranging from the mid-18th century Hallock homestead to the Depression-era Cichanowicz farmhouse. Educators tour the museum's buildings, gardens and collections; experience real farming in the museum's fields; and meet Hallockville's animals. Hallockville serves as an educational resource for all age groups to raise awareness of Long Island's agricultural heritage. First Segment: Sustainability (4/2/2022) Learn about historic 'green' practices by the Hallock family by walking the Sustainability Trail. Visit the Old Homestead and the Homestead Barn to see examples of their self-sustaining ways. Participants will discuss the meaning of sustainability and how it plays in today's world. Second segment: Traditional Crafts (4/9/2022): Observe demonstrations by local artisans followed by a variety of hands on activities. Participants will meet in Greenport at the blacksmith shop with noted local smithy engaging in his craft.
