A Farm Family on Long Island’s North Fork
Saturday, May 10, 2025 01:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Hallock State Park Preserve
Hallockville Museum Farm and Hallock State Park Preserve will host Historian Richard Wines to discuss his recently released book, "A Farm Family on Long Island's North Fork". Wines traces the history of the North Fork agricultural community through the story of the Hallock Family. For well over two centuries, community members were almost all descendants of the same group of seventeenth-century Puritan founders. Yet, despite their shared heritage and complex interrelationships, cultural wars raged. Family members and the community divided bitterly on issues, ranging from whether to allow a melodeon into the church to supporting abolitionism. Wines' deep dive into one community's history uncovers stories about slavery, racism, and prejudice that many have chosen to forget, as well as stories of compassion or human tragedy we want to remember. The program is free, but advanced registration is required. Register at: https://secure.lglforms.com/form_engine/s/2LQROrjnOlEihKvsHY1_NQ.
