Birthday Celebration

The Southampton Historical Museum will throw a party to celebrate the town’s 375th birthday on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Rogers Mansion on Meeting House Lane.

The day will include free admission to the Rogers Mansion museum complex, free one-year family memberships to the museum, a $35 value (for Saturday sign-ups only), and tours of the Rogers Mansion. The Sag Harbor Community Brass Band will perform music from the Great American Songbook, with the community invited to sing along, from 4 to 5, after which a birthday cake and ice cream will be served.

Moran Trust Benefit

The Thomas Moran Trust will hold a benefit cocktail party on Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m. at the home of Pietro and Katherine Nivola on Old Stone Highway in Springs. “In the Artist’s Garden,” the theme of the fund-raiser, honors the artists who lived and worked here from the 1950s to the 1990s. Appropriately, the setting will be the studio and home of the late Costantino and Ruth Nivola, mainstays of the East End art scene during that time.

The Thomas Moran Trust is dedicated to restoring the Moran studio, gardens, and its four outbuildings, which the artist designed and into which he, his wife, Mary Nimmo, and their children moved in 1885. The Queen Anne-style cottage was the first artist’s studio built in East Hampton.

Tickets start at $300 and can be purchased at thomasmorantrust.org. Junior tickets, for ages 40 and under, are $150 and can be secured by calling the trust at 324-0100.
