The Nye Museum is proud to announce the recent acquisition of an exceptional model of the Abigail. Created by longtime friend of the museum Carlo Dipersio, this remarkable piece reflects a year of careful craftsmanship and historical research.

The Abigail represents the ship that carried Benjamin Nye and Katherine Tupper to the Americas, and this model allows us to vividly share the story of the founding of our homestead.

We extend our sincere thanks to Carlo for his dedication and generosity in bringing this history to life.
