- Hyde Hall Opens May 27th With New Events and Completed Projects!
Cooperstown, NY – Hyde Hall opens its doors on May 27th with a season full of events, tours, concerts, and new victories to share. The historic site completed significant projects during the winter months that advance restoration efforts, increase what the museum can offer to the public, and further help diverse audiences explore, appreciate, and understand history. During the off-season, Hyde Hall proceeded with major restoration projects and completed the Wood Barn. Along with serving as an exhibition space, this structure expands Hyde Hall’s capacity to serve our community by hosting private events, weddings, conferences, workshops, and lectures; a Contra Dance is already scheduled for July 21 this season.Within the mansion, Ann Low Cary Cooper Clarke’s suite saw initial restoration efforts that reinstalled the original wall and renewed the interior. At the close of last season, the Dining Room received its impressive floor-to-ceiling French-style continuous draperies. This completes the restoration of the Dining Room, making it the perfect setting for elegant private dinners or other events. Hyde Hall’s Executive Director says, “Thanks to the support of donors and friends, Hyde Hall has more to offer than ever before. We’ve expanded our range of tours and events to include a folk music festival featuring local artists and a Contra dance. With everyone’s help, Hyde Hall is a more vibrant place and a great, local venue for history, the arts, and education!”Not long after opening, Hyde Hall and Glimmerglass State Park will host the Hyde Hall and Glimmerglass State Park Block Party on June 10. This all-day event gives the public a chance to celebrate the start of the summer season with over 20 local organizations, live music, crafts, educational hikes, adoption opportunities with the SPCA, and a chance to meet the impressive Rolling Meadows Clydesdale. Hyde Hall is excited to welcome the public back to the stately home at the north end of Otsego Lake. When it opens on May 27th, the public can see the progress the site has made.
