Historical Society fundraiser on March 12

Anticipation is building in Freeport as residents gear up for a night of historical enlightenment and trivia fun at Jeremy’s Ale House on the Nautical Mile. Scheduled for the March 12, this event promises to be a delightful blend of entertainment and education, all in support of the Freeport Historical Society.

Sign in will start at 7PM, and the game will begin at 7:30 and go until about 9.

Sam Pardo, a dedicated trustee at the Historical Society, unveiled plans for the event. Pardo, who has been serving as a trustee for around two to three years, shared insights into the upcoming trivia night, which aims to raise funds to support the society’s endeavors in preserving and promoting Freeport’s rich history.

The event, organized by the Freeport Historical Society, will feature trivia questions spanning various aspects of Freeport’s past, including its notable personalities, historical landmarks, and significant events. Attendees can expect an engaging evening filled with intriguing facts and surprises, catering to both Freeport locals and history enthusiasts from across Long Island.

Jeremy’s Ale House, a beloved establishment on the Nautical Mile, has graciously offered to host the event. With a nominal $20 admission fee for adults and $10 for children aged 15 and under, attendees will not only enjoy an evening of intellectual stimulation but also receive complimentary soda courtesy of Jeremy’s Ale House.

Pardo said that the funds raised “will support the museum. It’ll support keeping the building maintained and support allowing us to buy materials, supplies that we need, to preserve history and to even — if the opportunity presents itself — to even acquire new acquisitions for the museum, so that way history of Freeport lasts for many, many, many decades. Beyond all of us.”

When asked why preserving history was important, Pardo said ”preserving History is important, because it’s nice to know where you came from. And then there’s the age old quote, that those who do not know their history are doomed to repeat it..”

The event wouldn’t be possible without the collaborative efforts of the trustees at the Historical Society, local businesses like Atlantic Hardware, and the dedicated volunteers who will lend their support throughout the evening. Their contributions, along with the generosity of Jeremy’s Ale House, underscore the strong sense of community spirit that defines Freeport.

In addition to the trivia competition, attendees can look forward to exciting prizes generously donated by local businesses. From a gift basket from Atlantic Hardware to special merchandise, there will be plenty of opportunities to win and support a worthy cause simultaneously.

As preparations for the event continue, Sam expressed enthusiasm about the community’s response and encouraged everyone to mark their calendars for this unique evening of camaraderie and historical exploration.

For those eager to participate, tickets will be available for pre-sale, ensuring a smooth entry into what promises to be one of the most memorable events on Freeport’s social calendar.

As the countdown to the trivia night begins, anticipation mounts, and excitement fills the air. Freeport residents and history enthusiasts alike eagerly await the chance to test their knowledge, support their community, and make lasting memories at Jeremy’s Ale House on the Nautical Mile.
