The Trials and Tribulations of Preserving the Dominy Family Home and Workplace.
2025-01-12 14:00 - 15:00 | Cutchogue-New Suffolk Free Library, 27550 Main Road, Cutchogue, NY, 11935, United States
A cautionary tale for preservationists and historians.

On January 12, at 2pm in the Community Room of the Cutchogue Library, Steve Long, Executive director of the East Hampton Historical Society will be giving a talk on the “The Trials and Tribulations of Preserving the Dominy Family Home and Workplace.” A cautionary tale for preservationists and historians.

The Dominy craftsmen were a family made up of American clock, furniture, and watchmakers in East Hampton, but their influence was felt across the entire East End from 1760 to 1840. Like many North Fork historical societies, Cutchogue has several pieces of furniture created by the Dominys. Other works created by the Dominys are in the collections of the Winterthur Museum, Garden, and Library.

Long will be discussing the family’s legacy and the interesting and problematic history of the preservation of their home and workshops, as well as the recent completion of a replica of their home with the attachment of the original workshops in the exact location it was originally built in the center of East Hampton town.

The Unsettling Legacy of Wayland Jefferson: Missing Evidence, Racism, & Collective Amnesia
2025-02-02 14:00 - 15:00 | Cutchogue-New Suffolk Free Library, 27550 Main Road, Cutchogue, NY, 11935, United States
In honor of Black History Month, on February 2, at 2pm, in the Community Room of the Cutchogue Library, author Jacqueline Dinan will be giving a talk on her book “The Unsettling Legacy of Wayland Jefferson: Missing Evidence, Racism, & Collective Amnesia”

In 1935, the Town of Southold elected Wayland Jefferson as their official historian. During his tenure, Jefferson disrupted traditional religious narratives and wrote histories steeped in taboo subjects—sex, smuggling, and slavery. Although institutions pushed back after 1940 to reclaim their cultural dominance, Jefferson pursued venues remaining open to him to promote his counternarratives. To many in the white community, the town historian was a dishonest gadfly meriting condemnation. To people of color, however, he remains a tenacious straight shooter who deserves recognition. This biography discusses controversies related to the Southold historian triggered after his death: the intersection of racism and historiography, shifting perspectives on collective memory and collective amnesia, and the application of scientific testing to correct errors of interpretation.
Books will be available for purchase and signing.
