Hi, my name is Athena and this is my first year as an intern with the Somers Historical Society and it has been a great experience.  During one visit to the Elephant Hotel where the museum is located, Mrs. Zimmerman, Mrs.Timone and I looked through oodles of Carry`s sketches, pastels and water colors and found one in particular of a woman leaning over a cradle which looks exactly like the one in the upstairs parlor! Truth be told, we think it is the same cradle and are very exited to share the excitement with others and the public.

The 4th of July celebration was also a wonderful experience.  Giving tours of the Homestead was a learning experience and it was exciting to share this experience with so many Somers residents and watching the fireworks from the lawn was fun too!
