GENEALOGY WORKSHOP

Our school programs offer a glimpse into what life was like for children living during colonial times in our Conklin Farmhouse (Colonial Life on the Conklin Farm) and Dr. Daniel Kissam House (Life with Dr. Daniel Kissam) Museums.  Each program provides specific information and hands-on demonstrations which meet New York State Curriculum Requirements for Social Studies.  All of the Society’s school programs are BOCES approved.

​Our Lecture-to-Go Series offer a diverse selection of interesting topics in the intimate setting of our Conklin Barn.  Boat  tours of the Van Wyck-Lefferts Tide Mill are a unique educational experience which explores one of the country’s best preserved tide mills.

Quilting classes held in the unique Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Building are offered to both adults and older children, and our educational outreach events, such as the Spring’s Sheep to Shawl Festival and the Fall Apple Festival, bring families together to experience old fashioned fun while learning about the traditions and trades of early Huntington families.
