Summer Exhibits at Hallockville

Hallockville Museum Farm is hosting several exhibits on various aspects of North Fork history over the past 250 years.

“The Revolution at Hallockville” examines how the lives of Reuben Brown, the original owner of the Hallock Homestead, and Zachariah Hallock were affected by the Revolution. The experiences of these two men show how close neighbors experienced the Revolution in dramatically different ways.

“The Trubisz Farm- An American Family Story” is a pictorial narrative that begins with a Polish immigrant who arrives in this country at the dawn of the 20th-century and by the end of the century his grandson is the head of a major corporation. It is also the story of so many other farm families of the North Fork and throughout the nation. A complement to this new exhibit is the on-going “Polish Farming Experience” which details the significant contributions made by Eastern European immigrants to the Sound Avenue area surrounding Hallockville. All three exhibits are located in the museum’s newly restored Trubisz Little House.

Finally, the “Sound Avenue Congregational Church Record Book Collection” highlights some of the 50 books recently donated to the museum farm by the First Parish Church in Northville. The books give insight into an important aspect of the lives of women from 1876 to 1972. The exhibit is located in the Hudson-Sydlowski house and will be on display through July.

Exhibits are free to the public during regular museum hours, Friday through Sunday, 11 am to 4 pm. Other times are available for group tours by special arrangement. Visitors can also meet the Museum Farm’s cows, sheep and chickens; browse in the museum shop stocked with local hand-crafted items and take guided tours of the Hallock Homestead and Depression-era Cichanowicz Farmhouse. Tours are $7 for adults, $4 for children and free for members.

New Executive Director Arrives at
Hallockville Museum Farm: Herbert Strobel


Herbert Strobel, Executive Director,
Hallockville Museum Farm

There's a new face behind the executive director's desk at the Hallockville Museum Farm. After an exhaustive nationwide search, the museum's Board of Directors welcomes Herbert J. Strobel as leader of the 32-year old institution.

According to David Higbee, chair of the museum's search committee, "We were lucky to have a large pool of well-qualified candidates for the position, but Mr. Strobel stood out because of his experience, background and strong interest in promoting awareness among the public of our shared agricultural heritage."

Mr. Strobel has direct appreciation of local agriculture. He grew up on a dairy farm in Center Moriches where his family had 25 cows. He vividly remembers the trucks hauling potatoes, cabbage, and ducks that were once so common on Long Island. He has fond memories of going to Beacon Feeds, Tryac, and Rolle Brothers with his dad to pick up grain and tractor parts.

Mr. Strobel received undergraduate and graduate degrees from Cornell University and was on the faculty of the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Kentucky for the past 18 years. During that time, he maintained active interests in his family farm and the preservation of farmland in eastern Suffolk County.

According to Mr. Strobel: "Agriculture has changed a lot since I was a young person -- there are no more cow dairies, a lot less potato trucks, and just a few duck farms. But farming remains important to the culture and economy of the East End and Hallockville helps promote the importance of local agriculture. The museum farm is a unique resource on Eastern Long Island -- nowhere else will you find a set of historic buildings, artifacts, animals, and gardens surrounded by working farmland that is open to the public. Add to that educational programming that serves thousands of children each year and the many events hosted by the museum farm, and it's easy to understand why I consider Hallockville a wonderful place for re-connecting with our shared agricultural roots."

The Hallockville Museum Farm is a non-profit organization whose mission is to take visitors back to their agricultural roots. The 28-acre farm preserves eighteen historic houses, barns and outbuildings ranging from the mid-18th century Hallock homestead to the Depression-era Cichanowicz farmhouse. Visitors can tour the museum's buildings, gardens and collections; experience real farming in the museum's fields; and meet Hallockville's friendly cows, sheep and chickens. Hallockville serves as an educational resource for all age groups to raise awareness of Eastern Long Island's agricultural heritage. Hallockville is located at 6038 Sound Avenue in Riverhead, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a Riverhead Town landmark. More information is available at www.hallockville.com or 298-5292. Partial support is provided by Suffolk County under the auspices of the Office of Cultural Affairs.

Music & Art Lessons for Parents?

Did you ever tell someone, "I used to play piano," or flute, or cello, maybe the trumpet, saxophone or violin? Or maybe you used to sing? Have you always enjoyed art and wanted to do more? Some of us have always wanted to learn, but never had the opportunity as a child.

In addition to the children enrolled in group and private music & art classes, the Community School of the Arts has lots of adult students, from beginner to advanced. Music and art instruction isn't just for kids! Currently there are daytime openings for voice, guitar, piano and violin during the week and openings on all woodwind instruments, cello, percussion and piano on Saturdays. For complete offerings, visit the School of the Arts website or call 369-2171.
