Oyster Bay Historical Society Calendar of Events

In a colorful prelude to the Society's forthcoming Fall Exhibit, Irreplaceable Artifacts, historians Raymond and Judith Spinzia, will lecture on Sunday, October 29, 2006 at 2:30 p.m. at the Oyster Bay Community Center on Church Street. Popular for their unabashedly gossipy style, the Spinzias will serve up anecdotes about famous Gold Coast residents uncovered as they researched their new, two volume book, Long Island's Prominent North Shore Families: Their Estates and Their Country Homes. The Spinzias, who are preparing a third edition of their classic reference work, Long Island: A Guide to New York's Suffolk and Nassau Counties, have been featured in Newsday, The New York Times, and other newspapers, as well as on local TV and radio, including WQZR. Their lecture will be followed by a champagne reception at the Society's Earle Wightman House headquarters. Admission is free and open to all. For more information, call the Society at 516-922-5032.
