by Marge and Dick Brockway
On
Saturday afternoon, October 11, 2003, the weatherman cooperated by providing a
spectacular day when the Bayside
Historical Preservation Society held its first open house at the recently
refurbished museum building on Pleasant Street.
Over
seventy-five people attended the open house, including patrons, BHPS officers
and members, Bayside residents and guests, and passersby.

The
cottage, decorated in a fall motif with flowers, pumpkins, Indian corn and
a scarecrow awaiting the guests of the open house.

In
addition to the decorations around the exterior of the building, several
BHPS members brought photographs and displays of early Bayside memorabilia
to arrange around the main display area.
Besides
introducing the new museum cottage to the Bayside community; the open
house also served as an opportunity to provide a
public thank you to the many volunteers who donated their time,
effort and materials in the reconstruction, wiring, painting, and clean up
of the cottage and the grounds to bring the cottage to its present
condition.
