The Hidden History of Nassau County, Long Island

December 1, 2022 by Editorial Staff Leave a Comment

Nassau County Through TimeNassau County on Long Island was born at an auspicious and exciting time on the cusp of a new century and a major transition. It went from a series of quiet farming communities to a hub for industry, playground for the rich, a training ground for soldiers heading to war, and a cradle for the nascent aviation industry.

The Nassau County Historical Society will host “The Hidden History of Nassau County,” a program with Richard Panchyk on Sunday, December 4th.

In this illustrated talk, Richard Panchyk will show the changes Nassau has gone through and uncovers some of the hidden remnants of a time long gone. Author of 50 books, Richard Panchyk has written more than a dozen on Long Island history, including: Nassau County Through Time; Roosevelt Field; and Abandoned Long Island. His talk will include highlights from several of his books.

This program will begin at 2 pm and will be held via Zoom. Registration is required and can be completed online. For more information click here.
