The Bridgehampton Museum has reopened for the season, with a new director, Connor Flanagan, formerly the assistant director of the Southampton History Museum. Starting Friday, the Nathaniel Rogers House, at the corner of Montauk Highway and Ocean Road, will be open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is free.

Among the 10 rooms on the first floor are a number of exhibitions, from the collage and painting of Helen Hoie to the hamlet's tradition of racing to the story of the Nathaniel Rogers House itself. More exhibitions will be up at the end of the month.
