Plum Island: A World Unto Itself
May 20, 2022 |
On Fri., May 20th, the Historical Society of Islip Hamlet and the Islip Public Library are
co-sponsoring a program titled "Plum Island: A World Unto Itself" by author/ historian Amy Folk. Islands are by nature mystical, mysterious and mutable. So it seems fitting that Plum Island, located at the tip of Long Island, NY is shaped like a question mark. But, this island is different - it is unlike any other island anywhere in the
world. Through several wars and many incarnations the island has remained in a semi natural state. But for many in the 21st century, Plum Island - heavily patrolled and off-limits to virtually everyone - remains shrouded in secrecy and is viewed with skepticism to apprehension about what really goes on there. The program will be held at the Islip Public Library, 71 Monell Ave., 7-9 pm, is free and open to the
public. Registration is required, call 631-581-5933. For more info on the
