Levittown Cape
Program: Garden City and Levittown are two famous landmarks in the history of suburban America. Located just a few miles apart on what was once the Hempstead Plains, the two communities were founded in different centuries, under different circumstances, and for different reasons. Despite their differences in origin and subsequent development, the two communities share some underlying similarities. This presentation will explore some of those similarities and differences, and in the process examine some interesting aspects of the American and Long Island suburban experience. You may remember that Dr. van Wie spoke to our Historical Society some years ago on “Nineteenth-Century German Settlements on Long Island.”
Annual Meeting: We have had to adjust to the new reality and held our first ever virtual annual meeting on October 25 at 2 p.m. A brief business meeting was followed by the program on Long Island’s Garden City and Levittown.
More information, and directions, are provided on our Calendar page. There you will also find information about past and future meetings.
Take a look around!
