East Quogue Historical Museum

I was looking through my pictures working on another project and found this one again. I think it is a class photograph taken outside the old elementary school. I would like to add it to the online exhibit we have on our website. I am putting it here to see if anyone recognizes anyone. Of course, there are no names on the back. My grandfather is in the pictures and he looks to me to be about ten years old, which would make the year about 1926. If you recognize anyone please comment below, and I will add it to the description when I add it to the website. As usual, thank you for all your help! I will look in the old newspapers to see if there is a list of kids in the school that year too and hopefully that will help us.

Our New Online Exhibit is up: "Brownie Man in East Quogue". It tells about the famous author Palmer Cox who used to spend his winters in East Quogue delighting the local children with his stories. You can view it here: https://www.eastquoguehistorical.org/brownie-man-in-east-qu

Just finished some more updates to the website, this time to History of the Schools, 1813-1957. The added photographs were donated by Diane Wagner Yates. They are labeled with what was on the back of the photograph. Let us know if you recognize anyone! https://www.eastquoguehistorical.org/history-of-the-schools

We have some updates for the website. The first one is up now, James Culver Rowe, son of Mary Culver Rowe had reached out and sent us a picture of his parent's wedding party. Mary's mother was Florence Phillips Culver. Aunt Elsie mentions this wedding in her June 1944 letter. You can see the image here: https://www.eastquoguehistorical.org/hello-from-the-homefro

For Memorial Day we wrote about the letters that were sent, during World War II, to the men and women from East Quogue from Aunt Elsie. During the summer, as I was organizing more in my archives, I came across copies of "The East Quogue Globe" it appears Mr. Robert McGuirk, JR decided to pick up the torch of letter writing to keep in touch with his friends and keep them connected around the globe. Thank you to all the men and women from East Quogue, and the entire country who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Happy Veterans Day 2020. I will happily do an online exhibit about our Veterans of the Vietnam War, or any other. As always you can email any stories and pictures to [email protected].

When I go through picture I always come across those that are not labeled. I figure it is a rainy evening we could play the game "Who Am I? I know a couple of those in the picture, but would love to know who everyone is. So if you recognize anyone please let us know. The second picture was, maybe, taken inside the East Quogue United Methodist Church, probably sometime in the 1950's, maybe 1957/58 or so, the other is outside, could be somewhere, maybe in East Quogue. If someone who recognizes themselves could let us know that would be great. Stay safe out there and be well!

Hi Everybody, Due to the ongoing restrictions surrounding the Covid-19 situation the Board has decided to not hold the annual membership meeting this year. We are still busy working on things behind the scenes. We hope you all are well.

We hope everyone is doing well this summer! I just wanted to let you know that we updated our "History of Scouting in East Quogue" Online Exhibit. Two more articles were found that mentioned the Scouts, one from their recharter in 1945 and another from 1962.
