We got a little “plugged in” today!

With just some simple electrical work and a bit of teamwork, we turned ordinary tin cans into fully functional microphones.

🎙️ It was such a blast seeing everyone collaborate to bring these little gadgets to life. There’s nothing like a hands-on afternoon to remind us how much we can create when we work together! 🛠️✨

For over 100 years, Stella Prince Terry's vital work at Horton Point Lighthouse went unacknowledged. Thanks to local researcher Mary Korpi's tireless efforts, and with support from the Southold Free Library, Stella's rightful place in history was finally secured in 2023. Her remarkable story highlights the importance of uncovering local histories that remain untold.
