Calendar

This year, the Warwick Historical Society celebrates its 120th Anniversary, and for the first time in many years, our annual Open House falls on our actual birthday — Sunday, April 19. It makes the occasion especially meaningful, and we would love your help in making it a success.

Like last year, from 1:00–4:00 PM, we will open our properties to the public and are seeking volunteer docents to staff each location. Shifts will be divided into:

• 1:00–2:30 PM
• 2:30–4:00 PM

You are welcome to take one shift and explore the other properties on the other half (or do both, if you’re feeling festive!).

To engage our younger residents this year, we are launching a TIME TRAVELERS PASSPORT PROGRAM, made possible in part by a grant from the Warwick Savings Foundation. Children ages 10 and under can pick up a WHS “passport” at Buckbee and must visit each open property to receive a stamp from the docent after answering a simple question about the site. Once they’ve collected all the stamps, they will return to the Buckbee to show their completed passport and select a prize.

This initiative is a wonderful way to engage children while also encouraging families to explore and get involved in all that the Warwick Historical Society has to offer.

If you are available to docent, please reply with your preferred shift time or if you can do either. Participants will receive docent notes at the beginning of April to review and I will have printed copies onsite.

We truly appreciate your support and hope you’ll join us for this special day.

Albert Wisner Public Library is the community’s favorite place to meet, discover, learn and connect.

An extensive menu of programs for children, teens, adults, including books, ideas, lectures, movies, visiting authors, exhibits, art galleries, and much more!

During World War II, 855 women joined the fight to fix the three-year backlog of undelivered mail – known as the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, an all-black, all-female battalion; faced with discrimination and a country devastated by war, they managed to sort more than 17 million pieces of mail ahead of time.

After building a life there, she is drawn back to her home town of Enniscorthy and has to choose where she wants to forge her future. Rated PG-13: 1 hour 57 minutes.

When she opens her front door one day to find she’s to adopt a young London evacuee named Frank, she’s resistant.

• March 2: AWPL Classic Monday: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (1945) Elia Kazan’s adaptation of Betty Smith’s 1943 novel stars Dorothy McGuire, Joan Blondell, James Dunn and Peggy Ann Garner. Smith’s best-selling work, based on her own childhood experiences growing up in a Williamsburg slum is set in Brooklyn circa 1900; the Nolan family manages to enjoy life on pennies despite great poverty and Papa’s alcoholism – young Francie yearns for a life beyond her surroundings.

During World War II, 855 women joined the fight to fix the three-year backlog of undelivered mail – known as the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, an all-black, all-female battalion; faced with discrimination and a country devastated by war, they managed to sort more than 17 million pieces of mail ahead of time.

The plot follows Eilis Lacey (Ronan), a young Irish woman who immigrates to Brooklyn in the early 1950’s to find employment. After building a life there, she is drawn back to her home town of Enniscorthy and has to choose where she wants to forge her future. Rated PG-13: 1 hour 57 minutes.

When she opens her front door one day to find she’s to adopt a young London evacuee named Frank, she’s resistant.

This year, the Warwick Historical Society celebrates its 120th Anniversary, and for the first time in many years, our annual Open House falls on our actual birthday — Sunday, April 19. It makes the occasion especially meaningful, and we would love your help in making it a success.

Like last year, from 1:00–4:00 PM, we will open our properties to the public and are seeking volunteer docents to staff each location. Shifts will be divided into:

• 1:00–2:30 PM
• 2:30–4:00 PM

You are welcome to take one shift and explore the other properties on the other half (or do both, if you’re feeling festive!).

To engage our younger residents this year, we are launching a TIME TRAVELERS PASSPORT PROGRAM, made possible in part by a grant from the Warwick Savings Foundation. Children ages 10 and under can pick up a WHS “passport” at Buckbee and must visit each open property to receive a stamp from the docent after answering a simple question about the site. Once they’ve collected all the stamps, they will return to the Buckbee to show their completed passport and select a prize.

This initiative is a wonderful way to engage children while also encouraging families to explore and get involved in all that the Warwick Historical Society has to offer.

This year, the Warwick Historical Society celebrates its 120th Anniversary, and for the first time in many years, our annual Open House falls on our actual birthday — Sunday, April 19. It makes the occasion especially meaningful, and we would love your help in making it a success.

Like last year, from 1:00–4:00 PM, we will open our properties to the public and are seeking volunteer docents to staff each location. Shifts will be divided into:

• 1:00–2:30 PM
• 2:30–4:00 PM

You are welcome to take one shift and explore the other properties on the other half (or do both, if you’re feeling festive!).

To engage our younger residents this year, we are launching a TIME TRAVELERS PASSPORT PROGRAM, made possible in part by a grant from the Warwick Savings Foundation. Children ages 10 and under can pick up a WHS “passport” at Buckbee and must visit each open property to receive a stamp from the docent after answering a simple question about the site. Once they’ve collected all the stamps, they will return to the Buckbee to show their completed passport and select a prize.

This initiative is a wonderful way to engage children while also encouraging families to explore and get involved in all that the Warwick Historical Society has to offer.

If you are available to docent, please reply with your preferred shift time or if you can do either. Participants will receive docent notes at the beginning of April to review and I will have printed copies onsite.

We truly appreciate your support and hope you’ll join us for this special day.

Albert Wisner Public Library is the community’s favorite place to meet, discover, learn and connect.

An extensive menu of programs for children, teens, adults, including books, ideas, lectures, movies, visiting authors, exhibits, art galleries, and much more!

This year, the Warwick Historical Society celebrates its 120th Anniversary, and for the first time in many years, our annual Open House falls on our actual birthday — Sunday, April 19. It makes the occasion especially meaningful, and we would love your help in making it a success.

Like last year, from 1:00–4:00 PM, we will open our properties to the public and are seeking volunteer docents to staff each location. Shifts will be divided into:

• 1:00–2:30 PM
• 2:30–4:00 PM

You are welcome to take one shift and explore the other properties on the other half (or do both, if you’re feeling festive!).

To engage our younger residents this year, we are launching a TIME TRAVELERS PASSPORT PROGRAM, made possible in part by a grant from the Warwick Savings Foundation. Children ages 10 and under can pick up a WHS “passport” at Buckbee and must visit each open property to receive a stamp from the docent after answering a simple question about the site. Once they’ve collected all the stamps, they will return to the Buckbee to show their completed passport and select a prize.

This initiative is a wonderful way to engage children while also encouraging families to explore and get involved in all that the Warwick Historical Society has to offer.

If you are available to docent, please reply with your preferred shift time or if you can do either. Participants will receive docent notes at the beginning of April to review and I will have printed copies onsite.

We truly appreciate your support and hope you’ll join us for this special day.

Albert Wisner Public Library is the community’s favorite place to meet, discover, learn and connect.

An extensive menu of programs for children, teens, adults, including books, ideas, lectures, movies, visiting authors, exhibits, art galleries, and much more!
