Lindenhurst Historical Society And The Inc. Village Of Lindenhurst Celebrates The Grand Re-Opening Of The Old Village

On Saturday July 26, 2025, elected officials, residents, neighbors and history buffs joined the Lindenhurst Historical Society and Lindenhurst Village Mayor Mike Lavorata for a ribbon cutting ceremony; marking the long and widely anticipated grand reopening of the Old Village Hall Museum. The museum, with its storied past, will begin its next chapter as Lindenhurst’s longest serving museum and arguably one of the community’s oldest buildings. Joining Lindenhurst Village Museum Director Maranne Guglieri, Lindenhurst Historical Society President Evie Sosna and Mayor Lavorata at the podium were Lindenhurst Village Trustees MaryAnn

Weckerle and Douglas Madlon, Lindenhurst Village Historian Anna Jaeger, Babylon Town Historian Mary Cascone, New York State Assemblyman Kwani O’Pharrow and Suffolk County Presiding Officer Kevin McCaffrey. Pastor Marc Herbst, St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, offered a blessing and soloist Teagan McGuire lead the crowd in God Bless America and then thrilled the audience with her rendition of “My Blue Heaven”, a period-appropriate musical selection. To applause and cheers from those attending, the festivities culminated in the long-awaited ribbon cutting and concluded in a truly “banner” moment when Director Guglieri presented the audience with

the original “Museum Open” flag; officially opening the Old Village Hall Museum to the public.

The grand reopening is a culmination of more than a decade’s old, concerted effort by both the Village and the Historical Society to preserve and restore a building so relevant to Lindenhurst’s history; a significant milestone illustrating the endurance of the nearly eighty year partnership enjoyed by the Village and the Lindenhurst Historical Society during which 3 other buildings; the 1901 Restored LIRR Depot and Freight House Museum and the Lindenhurst Historical House Museum, c.1915 have been preserved and OVHM Grand Reopening ribbon-cutting:

maintained as museums; each providing valuable and outstanding exhibit space for Lindenhurst Historical Society’s vast collection of historical objects and artifacts intrinsic to their ability to preserve, celebrate and tell the Lindenhurst story.

Clearly demonstrating the importance of conservation and preservation championed by the Village and the Lindenhurst Historical Society, the Old Village Hall Museum was “protected” twice. In 1951, when the Incorporated Village of Lindenhurst moved its government offices from what was its site at 215 South Wellwood Avenue to 430 South Wellwood Avenue, the Society assisted the Village in conserving the vacated structure, establishing the Old Village

Hall Museum. The building was directly adjacent to the Lindenhurst Fire Department’s Headquarters where it remained, serving as a Village and Historical Society Museum until 2013. In 2013, the Fire Department expanded its headquarters, compelling either demolition or relocation of the adjacent Museum. The Society, allied with the Village, moved the structure to Irmisch Park where it joined the relocated 1901 Depot and Freight House. Since its relocation to Irmisch Park, renovations subsidized by the Village of Lindenhurst and Suffolk County, thanks to Suffolk County Legislator Kevin McCaffrey continued; with consideration given to the structure’s historical architectural integrity as well as its construction soundness. With improvements to the

building’s overall indoor environmental quality and climate control completed, Lindenhurst Historical Society volunteers, under the direction of Lindenhurst Museum Director Marianne Guglieri and the unwavering support of Lindenhurst Historical Society President Evie Sosna, began the meticulous process of reenvisioning the museum’s exhibits and moving them back into the museum’s renovated space.

“Saturday, July 26, 2025, is a day we have all looked forward to,” said Lindenhurst Museum Director Marianne Guglieri. A soft opening took place in May during the 50th Anniversary Celebration of our 1901 Depot and Freight House Museum and the response was tremendous. Years of tenacious and arduous work by Mayor Lavorata, his team and Lindenhurst Historical Society leadership and volunteers have achieved the results we have dreamed of since November 2013. We now look forward to welcoming the community back into their Museum and join us in celebrating Lindenhurst’s vibrant history.”

Village Historian Anna Jaeger invited the public to visit and tour the museums sharing space at Irmisch Park. “The Old Village Hall Museum and the 1901 Restored LIRR Depot and Freight house are open Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 2PM to 4pm. Docents are on hand at both museums to guide visitors as they take a journey back in time to discover the Lindenhurst story, learning about Lindenhurst’s evolution from its Native American origins as Neguntatogue to today’s thriving Village, the fourth largest in New York State,” said Historian Jaeger. “We hope to see you soon.”

EXOTIC WAREHOUSE

A Little Hello Goes A Long Way

Last month, I wrote an article on the importance of saying thank you and received a lot of nice comments and compliments from people. One person wrote to me and suggested I write this month’s article on “saying hello to people instead of looking at your phone.”

Great idea!

Today, we live in a world where too many people, especially the younger generations, have forgotten how to interact with each other. Between selfcheckouts, smartphones, and food delivery apps, you can go for days without having a real conversation. People order Starbucks every day, pick it up in a store, and never speak a word to anyone. Not a single “hello,” “how are you,” or even eye contact. It’s efficient, easy, and kind of sad.

We need human connection, even if we don’t realize it in the moment. Saying hello to other people in the morning, giving them

a smile, and getting one back, gives us a bounce in our step. It’s like hearing a fun song. So, here are a few suggestions to see if we can bring a little humanity back into our daily lives.

When you walk outside, put your phone in your pocket. Say good morning to your neighbors. At the grocery store, choose the cashier line once in a while. If someone’s wearing a name tag—say their name! You’d be surprised how far that tiny gesture goes.

Heading into a local business? Introduce yourself. “Hi, I’m JoAnn,

Lindenhurst

nice to meet you!” You might learn something, make a friend, or find a new favorite business just by starting a conversation. When you’re at dinner, take a break from scrolling and just be with the people at your table. Ask a question. Share a story. Laugh at a bad joke.

I know life moves fast, and technology makes things more convenient, but let’s not let it make us invisible. Each person we pass has a story. Each meeting or encounter is a chance to be kind, to be curious, and to connect.

We’re not meant to live in silence or in front of small screens. We’re meant to laugh, to listen, to say “hi” and hear it back. The next time you’re out and about, talk to people in town, don’t just pass each other by.

I remember reading a beautiful quote from Mr. Rogers. He said, “There isn’t anyone you couldn’t learn to love once you’ve heard their story.”

Looking forward to seeing all of you SOON!

Rainbow Senior Center Fun!

OLPH Knights Fundraise At WOW

OLPH Knights of Columbus Council #794 once again took part in the Lindenhurst Chamber of Commerce’s popular Wednesday on Wellwood event, raising funds to support their many charitable programs in the community.

Visitors to the event stopped by the Knights’ booth to make donations and learn more about the organization’s work with

local families, parishes, and community initiatives. The funds raised will help the Knights continue their mission of faith and service, from food drives and scholarships to support for those in need.

“This community never ceases to amaze us with its generosity,” said Patrick Corcoran, Grand Knight of OLPH Council #794.

“Every dollar donated allows us to give back

directly to families and organizations that need it most. We are grateful to everyone who stopped by, supported our efforts, and shared in the spirit of service that makes our village so special.”

The OLPH Knights of Columbus will continue fundraising at future Wednesday on Wellwood events throughout the summer.

Pictured here at the Lindenhurst Rainbow Senior Center are some of the seniors playing “Match and Scratch”. This is an oversized Memory Game, created by staff, in order to encourage seniors to use their memory skills to win prizes. They had an enjoyable afternoon!

Stop by the Lindenhurst Rainbow Senior Center to pick up a monthly schedule and see all of the fun activities, informative

sessions, exercise classes and more that they have to offer. The Center is open M-F from 8:00am-3:30pm and located at 293 Buffalo Avenue, Lindenhurst. 631957-7526.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK: Liquid Iron

STAY COOL AS SUMMER WINDS DOWN

Though few people consider the end of summer a cause for celebration, the weather outside need not preclude men and women from enjoying a cool and refreshing beverage. Those who simply can’t say “so long” to summer may want to find a nearby patio, pull up a chair and pour themselves a glass of “Liquid Iron” courtesy of Brian Preston-Campbell’s “Cool Waters” (Harvard Common Press). Not only is the following drink refreshing and cool for those waning hot days before summer officially goes away, but it’s also a great source of iron and calcium.

Makes 6 servings

2 stalks red Swiss chard, chopped

1⁄4 cup chopped spinach leaves

1⁄4 cup chopped purple kale

1 teaspoons loose green tea leaves

6 cups still water

DIRECTIONS:

1. Place the chard, spinach, kale, and tea leaves in a blender with 1 cup of the water. Purée until fairly smooth, about 1 minute.

2. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher, using a ladle or rubber spatula to extract as much juice as possible. Add the remaining water, stir gently, and serve.

New York Blood Center Launches Fourth Annual “Pint For A Pint” Campaign With Over 50 Local Breweries And Frozen Treat Shops Across The Region

New York Blood Center (NYBC) is kicking off its fourth annual “Pint for a Pint” campaign to encourage blood donations during the critical summer months at donor centers through August 31, 2025, all who come to donate at NYBC’s donor centers will receive a voucher for a free beverage or frozen treat at a participating local brewery, pub, or frozen treat shop.

Since its launch in 2022, the “Pint for a Pint” campaign has doubled in size, with more than 50 breweries, pubs, and frozen treat shops across the region coming together to support the critical need for blood donations. This year’s full list of participating establishments can be found at https://www.nybc. org/pint/

we can ask our community to be supportive of such an important cause, and then reward them with a delicious pint of Newburgh beer!”

the impact on the local blood supply has been severe.

“At Newburgh Brewing Company, we take enormous pride in being supportive of our community,” said Paul Halayko, President and COO of Newburgh Brewing Company. “By working with the NYBC through Pint for a Pint, we are thanking folks for doing something selfless and important: donating blood. It’s a way

Following a sharp drop in donations over the 4th of July holiday, the region’s supply of O- and O+ blood is currently at a critical 1-2 day level, and overall collections are nearly 25% below the level needed to meet hospital demands. Summer has brought an expected decline in donations, driven by vacations and school breaks, but combined with increased trauma cases,

Type O-negative is the universal blood type used when seconds matter and a patient’s blood type is unknown. Type O-positive, the most common type, is in constant demand for surgeries, childbirth, cancer treatments, and daily medical care.

“Every pint counts, especially in the summer, and we are so grateful to these local establishments for coming together to support the critical need for blood donations in the summertime,” said

Andrea Cefarelli, Senior Vice President at New York Blood Center. “We hope this fun incentive will inspire returning and first-time donors to donate blood and enjoy a refreshing beverage or frozen treat on us. Blood donations are needed now more than ever.”

Blood donors can donate every 56 days, and platelet donors can donate twice a month. In light of recent updates to FDA guidance, more people than ever may now be eligible to give. To make an appointment, donors can call 1-800933-2566 or visit nybc.org. Can’t donate blood? You

can still make a life-saving impact by supporting NYBC’s mission through financial contributions or volunteering your time. Visit here to learn more: https://www.nybc.org/ support-us/ *Blood donors 21+ years of age are eligible. Prizes hold no cash value and are non-transferable. The type of beverage and frozen treat is at the venue’s discretion. Voucher must be redeemed on or before October 31, 2025, and cannot be used on the day of donation. Other restrictions may apply.
