Date & Time
The Historical Society of Islip Hamlet's new exhibit is entitled "Postcards from the Shore". "Wish you were here..." were the postcard words of vacationers of yesteryear, during their summers of travel to shoreline resorts. But postcards reflected much more than just the words of a tourist ~ postcards captured a historic pictorial of the times, featuring iconic landmarks, commemorative events, and landscapes that have greatly changed through the years. See nearly 100 historic postcards highlighted from the Society's collection. The exhibit runs Aug. 21 through Nov. 28 at Brookwood Hall's History Exhibit Room, 50 Irish La., East Islip (hrs: Th/Fr, 10 am - 4 pm, Sa/Su, 12n - 4pm). The exhibit is free and open to the public.
