Islip Grange: A Place To Touch The Face of History 2015 Educational Lecture presented by Historical Society of Islip Hamlet at Islip Public Library in Islip, Suffolk County, Long Island, New York.
The evolution of the Islip Grange to the present "Islip Grange: A Place To Touch The Face of History " - The Development of the Islip Grange.
Tuesday, November 10, 2015 the Historical Society of Islip Hamlet hosts George Munkenbeck and his presentation on "Islip Grange: A Place to Touch the Face of History". Many residents of the Town of Islip have no idea that Islip has a history park called Islip Grange. Many think the 12 acres at the corner of Montauk Hgwy and Broadway, Sayville, is private property. The park was established in 1974, just when the Town of Islip was faced with the destruction or demolition of some historic buildings due to site clearing for development. At that time, encouraged by civic organizations and the approaching Bicentennial, the Town made a commitment to preserve and relocate threatened structures. The site was envisioned as a repository for these structures and landmarks which would reflect living in 19th Century Long Island. This talk will explore the present conditions at the Grange as well as the historic background of the land and structures and the work of Friends of the Grange to restore the park to what it should be. The program will be held at Islip Public Library, 71 Monell Avenue, 7-9 pm and is free and open to the public. For more info: www.isliphamlethistory.org, 631-245-0675.
