UPCOMING EVENTS

“Lost Long Island”

Richard Panchyk, Historian and Author

From sprawling potato farms and incredibly lavish estates, to long-gone airfields and polo stars of yore, Long Island has an incredibly rich history often lost through the generations.  In the world of racing, Long Island was once the force racing capital of the state and hosted the nation's first professional auto races.  Though farming still thrives in Suffolk County, there are only a few working farms left in Nassau County, where hundreds of farms dotted the landscape generations ago.  Richard Panchyk, author of Lost Long Island and other books, reveals fascinating narratives of Long Island's lost history in his lavishly illustrated talk.

We are partnering with the Jericho Public Library for this hybrid program.  It will be available in person or live on your computer at home.  Register for the Zoom webinar on JerichoLibrary.org (under Events, Program Registration).  Refreshments will follow program at the library.

Driving Directions: The Jericho Library is at 1 Merry Lane, Jericho 11753, just south of Rt. 25 (Jericho Turnpike).

From the Northern State Parkway, take exit 35 North or from the LIE/Rt. 495, take exit 41 North onto Rts. 106/107.  Stay in the right-hand lane and turn right onto Rt. 25 East.  Go a very short distance and turn right (south) onto Merry Lane.  The Library is on your left; parking is available on both sides of the building or on Merry Lane.

Guests are welcome to attend (no charge), either at the library or virtually on Zoom.
