We were so fortunate to have had Matthew Trimboli, a high school Social Studies teacher, help us maintain our properties over the summer! Although he's now back in the classroom, here he is sprucing up the historical marker near Joseph Lloyd Manor. The @townofhuntington placed it on the site in 1976 to celebrate the Bicentennial.

As we approach the Semiquincentennial, we are thinking critically about the stories connected to our historic sites that we share with students and the public, particularly at Joseph Lloyd Manor, where Jupiter Hammon and countless others were enslaved by generations of the Lloyd Family. How can signs like this one serve as jumping off points for deeper and more critical discussions about United States history, education, memory, people, and the present?

It would be great to see some more of those signs with info on Jupiter Hammon, and also info on the Matinecock and other Indigenous people of Long Island too. Thanks for this post and for encouraging us to reflect on how to increase our knowledge and share it more effectively!

How about the Lloyds educated/allowed him to be educated? Thank you Jupiter for your prose.

Teaching local history in the classroom could probably help a lot, here. (though not easy for you to affect) Growing up in Nassau Cnty, I didn't learn that the west of LI was Dutch settled and the east end was English until i came to work for SPLIA and did some reading of their own materials. Maybe the curriculum has changed in the last few decades ~

It's not too late to register! Join us TOMORROW for a beautiful fall day at the Sherwood-Jayne Farm in East Setauket! 🍂 Artist and instructor Meagan Flaherty will teach us how to recreate a historic watercolor landscape 🎨 while we enjoy the bucolic farm setting, perfect weather 🌞, and wine, cheese, and snacks! 🍷🧀 As a bonus, you get to bring home the art kit (a $40 value)!

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.
