The Brick Store Museum’s founder, Edith Barry, was born March 10, 1884. At age 52, in 1936, she opened the Museum in a building she inherited from her Uncle, William Barry.
March 2023 marks Edith’s 139th birthday – her life spanned nine decades, from the 1880s to 1960s. Join us for a celebration of her life’s work in art and culture during a Costume Party celebrating her birthday this March 25, 2023, from 5-7pm.
This fundraiser will support the preservation of Edith’s original Museum building – The Brick Store itself – which needs its chimney rebuilt and brick repointed and painted in 2023.
Guests are encouraged to wear costumes reflecting the span of Edith’s life, from the 1880s to the 1960s!
The event will feature a specialty cocktail (a classic gimlet!) and appetizers selected from each decade from the 1910s through 1960s. Guests will view a special selection of Edith’s artwork and photography, and view her home movies from the 1910s – 1950s. There will be a fun raffle and an opportunity to hear more about the Museum’s newest publication, Edith Barry’s Family Cookbook!
Tickets are $50 per person, $40 for Museum Members.
