An Insider's View, house tours organized by the Southampton History Museum, will instead this year be called An Outsider's View, with in-person tours of several gardens and landscapes set for Saturday, weather permitting.
From 1 to 4 p.m., there will be tours starting at the Halsey House at 249 South Main Street, followed by an outdoor champagne reception from 4 to 5:30 at the Port of Missing Men. Covid-19 safety protocols will be in place, and there will be no rain date. Tickets are nonrefundable and cost $150 in advance or $175 the day of the event.
Every Thursday at the museum, a traditional African dance class is held outdoors at 6 p.m. On Sept. 19, a Saturday, there will be a jewelry-making workshop at the Pelletreau Silver Shop on Main Street from 10 a.m. to noon. The class costs $50, and discounts are available for multiple sessions. The number to call is 631-283-2494, extension 300.
