SUMMARY:Chats on the Past: Waite “Schoolboy” Hoyt
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the Westport Museum’s exhibition “Playful Pastimes\,” join Westport author Tim Manners to discuss Schoolboy: The Untold Journey of a Yankees Hero (University of Nebraska Press 2024).  \n\n\n\nWaite “Schoolboy” Hoyt’s improbable baseball journey began when the 1915 New York Giants signed him as a high school junior\, for no pay and a five-dollar bonus. After nearly having both his hands amputated and holding his own with players twice his age in the hardscrabble Minor Leagues\, he somehow ended up the best pitcher for the New York Yankees in the 1920s.  Based on a trove of Hoyt’s writings and interview transcripts\, Tim Manners has reanimated the baseball legend’s untold story\, entirely in the pitcher’s own words. Schoolboy dives straight into early twentieth-century America and the birth of modern-day baseball\, as well as Hoyt’s defining conflict: Should he have pursued something more respectable than being the best pitcher on the 1927 New York Yankees\, arguably the greatest baseball team of all time?  \n\n\n\nTickets for this virtual event are free for members and $5 for nonmembers. To watch this program please use the direct link in your emailed purchase receipt.  \n\n\n\nRegister online below. Tickets are nonrefundable. In the event you must cancel\, we will consider your purchase a donation and will happily issue you a donation receipt.  \n\n\n\nTo learn more about our exhibit on the history of play click here.

SUMMARY:Destination Westport: In Gatsby’s Shoes 
DESCRIPTION:Imagine it’s the summer of 1920. Westport is a sleepy farm community that lures New York’s most glamorous couple-F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald—to its shores.  \n\n\n\nSeeking respite from their whirlwind Jazz era lives\, the Fitzgeralds set up in an 18th century farmhouse that has seen Revolution and the building of a nation over many decades. Zelda swims daily in the peaceful waters of the Long Island Sound while Scott takes advantage of the bucolic quiet to work on what he hopes will be his next great novel—The Great Gatsby. Join the Museum\, as we recreate the summer of 1920 and the sites and characters that influenced Fitzgerald’s Great American novel.  \n\n\n\nCome prepared for a gorgeous\, vigorous 90-minute walk in one of the East Coast’s most beautiful settings. Please bring water and wear comfortable walking shoes.    \n\n\n\nPARKING INFORMATION: Guests should park at Longshore Marina\, along the asphalt and dirt areas\, in Lot F.   \n\n\n\nTickets $20 for members\, $25 for nonmembers.
