SHHS Annual Meeting and Summer Dates

This weekend, SHHS began our summer weekend regularly scheduled openings of the Annie Cooper Boyd House. The Annie Cooper Boyd House will be open Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 4 pm until Labor Day. We will also strive to accomodate guests who schedule an appointment in advance, should you be unable to visit during our regularly scheduled hours.

The Annual SHHS Meeting will be this coming Saturday, May 30th at 3 pm. Our ribbon cutting ceremony for the William Cooper Boat Shop will include some history of William Cooper's whale boats, along with a sneak peak of the inside of the Boat Shop. Refreshments will be served, and a review of some of the upcoming events and recent projects will be offered.

This Summer, SHHS will offer two mini-exhibits, one on local poet George Sterling, and another on Alvin Silver, will accompany the ongoing exhibit highligting some of the unique gifts given to the SHHS over the years.
