Emily L Knapp Museum & Library of Local History

Be sure to visit the museum this weekend and see the inaugural exhibit! Helen Hastings: Art in a Trunk These paintings were stored for over a century in a wooden trunk in the attic of the Seymour home, now the Emily Knapp Museum.

Recently a visitor asked if there was an Italian restaurant years ago on the Main St. Of course it was Lista’s that she was asking about.

Check out this blog, 74 Main St. Written by a member of the Lista family, it includes recipes from the restaurant.

Help us solve a mystery! We have several of these bottles at the museum and would like to know more about them. The bottle reads: Brockport 04 Eastern home ... Of Champagne Green On the back is a list of names. Does anyone know when this was made (assuming it was made at Owens Illinois) and what was champagne green?
