Offered as a companion program to Voices and Votes: Democracy in America, a Museum on Main Street traveling exhibition, currently on view in our gallery, American Experiments is a series of games developed by the Smithsonian Institution. There are no right answers, just an opportunity to share and discuss ideas, and to think about the questions that have faced generations of Americans.

Gather with friends and family, or team up with fellow patrons for a night of lively discussion, friendly debate, and the sharing of ideas! What deserves the title of America’s food: Hot dogs? Turkey? Maybe it’s pizza! Who changed America more: Thomas Jefferson or Walt Disney? What image comes to mind when you hear the word “freedom”? Play as you like, or just enjoy a brew and chat with Preservation Long Island staff!

Date: Friday, April 19, 2024
Time: Starting at 5:00 PM
Where: Take Two Brewery 1676 Union Blvd., Bay Shore, NY 11706
