Saturday was another museum's day. This time for Juneteenth (they celebrated it early.) Whenever we drive to the museum, we cross my "favorite" road: Telephone Road.
Am Samstag war wieder ein Museumstag. Dieses Mal für Juneteenth (das Museum hat es einen Tag früher gefeiert). Wir müssen immer die "Telefonstraße" überqueren, wenn wir zum Museum fahren. Ich finde den Namen sehr amüsant.
They had set up an interesting timeline around the Great Meadow.
Um die Hauptwiese herum standen Schilder, die sich mit der Abschaffung der Sklaverei befaßten. New York war der erste Staat, in dem Sklaverei verboten wurde.
There were actors and singers.
Es gab Schauspieler und Sänger.
For Dad!

They were offering cake baked with these ingredients. The recipe was from a cookbook by Malinda Russell, a free black woman from Tennessee.

The rose petal brandy has changed color. They had started it last week.
Der Rosenblätterextrakt hat die Farbe geändert. Letzte Woche ist er angesetzt worden.
We learned about Fannie Barrier Williams from Brockport, NY.
We visited Veronika, who was working in the confectionary again.
Veronika haben wir wieder beim Konditor besucht.
We read the General Order No. 3 in the printing-press office.

Here we learned about black people working in New York.
Hier haben wir etwas über Schwarze gelernt, die in New York gearbeitet haben.
A lady was reading these three picture books in the gallery.
In der Galerie hat eine Dame diese drei Bilderbücher vorgelesen.
Flora took this picture of me while we were waiting for the girls to finish work. Once the museum closes, we always stay 30 to 60 minutes longer and have the museum almost all to ourselves. It takes them that long to clean and return their costumes.
Flora hat mich fotografiert, als wir auf die Mädchen gewartet haben. Wenn das Museum zugemacht hat, müssen wir immer noch 30-60 Minuten warten, bis sie zu uns kommen können. So lange dauert das Aufräumen und die Kostümrückgabe. Wir haben das Museum dann fast ganz für uns.
I had taken a book (paid link) by Karen Glass about classical and Charlotte Mason education along.
Ich habe ein Buch über Homeschooling mitgehabt.

When we came back through Geneseo, we discovered that a microburst had gone through the other day when we had a tornado watch. Many trees had fallen onto the graves in the cemetery.
Als wir auf der Rückfahrt durch Geneseo gekommen sind, haben wir gesehen, daß hier große Sturmschäden waren. Wir hatten ja neulich eine Tornadowarnung und anscheinend hat es in Geneseo einen Microburst gegeben. Viele riesige Bäume waren auf die Gräber auf dem Friedhof gefallen.
A lovely celebration at the museum. The trees that were knocked down were quite large, and look old.
ReplyDeleteDid you write this comment truly in the middle of the night? It was nice, the first time they had ever done it. It was a bit disorganized, but all the interpreters were very enthusiastic. They are all not regular staff members and had to learn their way around. I wonder how many graves got ruined. It looked quite bad. It is amazing that none of the old villas nearby got damaged.
DeleteHello! Yes, I must have written it that late! Morgana just came in now (11:21pm 6-17-23) and told me to get some sleep as we're driving to Montauk tomorrow. So funny :) (Yes, I often have stayed up much too late but am trying to do better.) Today I wanted to read again about the Juneteenth celebration events. The singing is so beautiful and moving. It makes me happy and sad all at once. I would love to attend events at Sturbridge if they have them now.
ReplyDeleteGood that Morgana is looking out for you! I checked and Sturbridge had special events today.
