- **Event Description**: UPCOMING EXHIBIT! Sparkling Through Adversity: Depression Glass of the 1930s, A Spotlight Series Exhibit in Our Weathervane Gallery, January 31 – April 11, 2026. 

At the onset of the Great Depression, the elegant crystal and glassware of the Roaring Twenties became financially unattainable for many families. Mass-produced, colorful, glistening pressed glassware quickly gained popularity, as homemakers delighted in setting their tables with these affordable jewel-like dish sets and accessories, with many items selling for just pennies. Known today as Depression Glass, these inexpensive yet colorful wares were produced in dozens of sparkling patterns and hues, bringing small luxuries of beauty and optimism to the dark years of the 1930s. Through a rainbow array of pastels and jewel tones, iridescent opalescent “carnival” finishes, and even a glowing uranium variety, this Spotlight Series exhibit showcases some of the finest pieces from the Suffolk County Historical Society’s own collection—and serves as a colorful reflection of beauty and hope through adversity.

Gallery Hours: Weds. – Sat., 10 am – 4:30 pm, excluding holidays. Regular admission fee applies.
