Come learn about a man who fought in both the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. Cyrus Tiffany was a fifer and helped save Perry when his original ship went down. In this Lunch and Learn, you will discover more about Tiffany and be able to handle replicas of artifacts an actual 1812 sailor would carry with them.

Please register, as seating is limited. All attendees will receive free admission to the Maritime Museum to view Tiffany's fife.

Our thanks to the Maritime Museum for its sponsorship of this program and the Erie Yacht Club for the grant to create the sea kit.

Did you know that the way we build things changes over time? Did you know that houses have come as kits since as early as the 1830's? How old is your house, and what 'style' could it be?

Join us for a special edition of History is Fun, where we talk about the places we call home, and some of the famous houses in Erie county, from the oldest, the 'fanciest', the most common, and more. We will put together a small house, and see if we can copy one of the styles we talked about!
