This is the second consecutive year the Lindenhurst Historical Society has garnered funding allowing the Society to acquire collection management and preservation supplies.

Lindenhurst, NY – During a recent exhibit-organizing work session at the nearly renovated Old Village Hall Museum, Lindenhurst Museum Director Marianne Guglieri and Lindenhurst Village Historian Anna Jaeger paused to demonstrate how newly acquired collection management supplies will expand and improve the Lindenhurst Historical Society’s conservation and preservation supplies and practices. This is the second consecutive year the Lindenhurst Historical Society successfully garnered a NYSCA/Greater Hudson Heritage Network Preservation Supplies Grant. This year’s funding allowed the Society to purchase seven (7) Garment/Textile Preservation Kits.

“As we endured the hiatus in our ability to manage and utilize the exhibit space afforded to us by the Village due to the relocation, renovations and repairs of both the Old Village Hall Museum and the Lindenhurst c.1915 Historical House Museum, we seized on the opportunity to assess our conservation and preservation practices to better enhance our efforts to protect our extensive collection of artifacts and historic objects,” said Museum Director Guglieri. “The generous grant funding we received from the Greater Hudson Heritage Network has allowed us to purchase necessary and appropriate preservation kits enabling us to safely and reliably store the textiles and clothing that comprise a significant part of the entire historical collection,” continued Ms. Guglieri. “This year’s funding was allocated towards archival boxes designed to protect our extensive wedding dress and formal wear collection.”

Museum docents and Lindenhurst Historical Society volunteers continue to partner with the Inc. Village of Lindenhurst to complete renovations, repairs and improvements at both the Old Village Hall Museum(located at Irmisch Park) and the circa 1915 Lindenhurst Historic Home Museum (located at 272 South Wellwood Avenue).

The Lindenhurst Moose Lodge recently hosted one of the Village of Lindenhurst’s Summer Concert Series shows. During the show, members of the Moose Lodge collected donations for the Christina Renna Foundation, in honor of September being childhood cancer awareness month.

“No parent should hear the words ‘your child has cancer and there is nothing we can do’,” recounted Mayor Lavorata from the foundation’s website, “The Christina Renna Foundation is doing important work to get to a place where those words do not need to be spoken.”

The Lindenhurst Veterans of Foreign War Post 7279 recently celebrated their re-opening with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony organized by the Lindenhurst Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber, along with several State, County, Town and Village officials, joined Post Commander Tom Kelly and other VFW Officers to officially commemorate their re-opening (pictured here).

The Wade-Burns Post Hall, located at 560 North Delaware Avenue, had a devastating fire in September 2019, and was forced to close its doors. Through the generosity, and hard work, of local officials, craftsmen, laborers, VFW members, and the community, the hall was rebuilt, and is now open for use by the VFW membership, Scout troops, community groups, and private rentals.

Lindenhurst Village Square Park was recently filled to capacity with people and excitement during the much-anticipated performance of “Totally Taylor: A Taylor Swift Tribute Act”.
