Pop-Up Museum
Think you’ve been there and seen that? Not at an MPM Pop-Up Museum!
What is it?
A pop-up museum is a small, temporary exhibit outside the walls of MPM. Each time we pop-up we choose a new theme and ask you, our community, to showcase your objects and stories that fit that theme.
Early Historical Background
Early Ancestors
Originally, the Native people who made up the Brothertown Tribe and the Stockbridge-Munsee Tribe came from the greater New England area. In the 1770s, the first Brothertown settlement in western New York drew members from the Narragansett tribe in Rhode Island; the Pequot, Mohegan, and Niantic tribes in southeastern Connecticut; the Tunxis and Wangunk tribes in north-central Connecticut; and the Montauk tribe on Long Island.
