NIGHT AT THE MUSEUMS 2022
A free and fun evening visiting Brockport Museums. Morgan-Manning House is participating.
The “Night at the Museums 2022” program in the Brockport area will bring five museums alive on Saturday, May 21, 2022, as they all hold an open house at the same time. Open that Saturday night from 4-8pm, area citizens may visit any or all of the museums as they choose. Tours are available each location, with the exception of “Brockport Community Museum” which is a virtual museum only. That one will have an historic marker celebration from 4-4:30 only.
The event celebrates the rich history of the Brockport area plus the devoted people who maintain and manage the museums with their unique collections. From the northern point in Clarkson to a few miles south of the Village, Route 19 becomes a convenient corridor with easy access to the museums along the way: a school house, a family mansion, another family mansion, a firehouse, and a farmer’s museum.

DECAYING THE PAST EXHIBITION
Downstairs at the Morgan-Manning House
Friday, December 10, 2021 - 6-8pm
Monday, December 13, 2021 - 6-8pm
Friday, December 17, 2021 - 6-8pm
Exhibit by Curator Dr. Rozenn Bailleul-LeSuer and Tyler Angora, WMHS Curatorial Intern
The purpose of this exhibit is to show that without museum curators a conservators, the physical past would not be preserved. Therefore, it is important to act and preserve historical artifacts as best we can. The objects displayed are from the MMH collection and have unfortunately suffered from time and ill-treatment. The main focal point of the exhibit will be Sara and Susanne Morgan's wedding dresses, as these are two important pieces in the MMH collection.

CHRISTMAS PICTURES
