Written by Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum colleagues Ed Clampitt and Ellen Mason, Patches and Stripes tells the true tale of a boy who lost a treasured family heirloom on the Vanderbilt estate.
The story of what happened after that became a charming, illustrated children’s book.
The Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum & Planetarium will be closed on Friday, June 19, in observance of the Juneteenth federal holiday.
