Great evening with gifted professionals.
Venue was lovely.
A great place for writers seeking inspiration from the life and work of Whitman. Interesting if you're interested.
When I worked at 110 Walt Whitman Rd, nearby (at Timely Organization in 1972-3) this was a pleasant place to eat lunch. There is an amazing amount of history on Long Island, and this is one location of many interesting ones. As I have not visited since then, it appears to have become much more commercialized. There may have been a library (private?) hère then or a room full of books, but that is not in evidence from the photos.... memory of that is unreliable, sorry to say. There is a county park that is nearby which was once an estate. Many surprisingly historic places in the NY Metro area are mentioned in Jennet Conant’s book « Tuxedo Park ».
A little hidden gem that's great for a relaxed visit. The interpretive center is very informative and well laid out. The staff is knowledgeable, warm and welcoming. The house tour was just the right length. I hadn't been there in many years despite having grown up in the area and it was very pleasant and we spent about 2 hours there at an enjoyable pace.
Stopped in on a whim during a motorcycle ride since I've never been there. Glad I did. The tour was very informative and enjoyable. Our guide Iris was excellent and it was very interesting to see the home preserved to the way things were in the past. I highly recommend visiting.
