The Southampton Historical Museum hosted its annual Late Summer Party last Saturday in the historic Sayre Barn & on the lawn of the Rogers Mansion.  Museum Director Tom Edmonds & Board members welcomed guests – the largest turnout in recent years - to the grounds where a grim reminder of Hurricane Irene’s devastation was on view. The 19^th Century C.& E. Bennett Blacksmith Shop was flattened after high winds from the storm caused a large branch to break off and fall on the building's roof. But that did not stop the crowd from enjoying one of the last evenings of summer.
