Dyckman Farmhouse – Backporch: “Echoes Across the Pond” with Silentwoods Collective

Baseball is not just America’s pastime— it is a story of resilience, talent, and the fight for equality. African Americans have shaped the game of baseball since its earliest days not just by playing it, but elevating it.

Join us on Wednesday, July 30th from 6-7pm as we honor their legacy through a lecture about the history of the Negro Baseball Leagues and how they found their way to the Dyckman Oval. We will discuss the stories, the struggles, and the triumphs of Black baseball players throughout history. Afterwards, participants will enjoy a fun, trivia-style game that will test their knowledge about the history of Negro Baseball Leagues and milestones of notable Black baseball players.

Sion Papi at Dyckman Farmhouse Museum

Dyckman Farmhouse Museum is proud to present

Sion Papi: A Stop Motion Animation and Art Exhibition by Anne Fernandez

Sion Papi is an animated documentary that follows the story of Anne Fernandez who, after the death of her father, embarks on a two-month journey to return his ashes to his homeland— a place she hasn’t set foot in for sixteen years. As she navigates this journey in an unfamiliar country, Anne begins to discover who her father was during the years he lived in Dominican Republic. 

Sion Papi unfolds as a personal essay in stop motion form— a tender tale of intergenerational storytelling, reconnection, and healing. The exhibition at the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum will feature a screening of Sion Papi alongside a glimpse into Anne Fernandez’s creative process in making the film.
