Friday morning-July 23-Corning Coffee party

The Yarmouth Historical Society Museum hosted a coffee party for the Corning family as well displayed many Corning memorabilia for us to view. We were treated to a talk by archivist Laura Bradley who spoke of what life was like when the first Cornings came to Yarmouth in the 1760s to settle.
