Program Description

Event Description

Learn the true story of the Culper Spy Ring from former Newsday reporter Bill Bleyer. History buffs have long been fascinated by the operation of the Long Island-based Culper Spy Ring during the American Revolution, especially since the airing of the AMC series “Turn.” Over the years, there have been many legends, such as the role played by Anna Strong’s clothesline, and suppositions about how the spies operated to support George Washington’s Continental Army.  The lecture separates facts from fiction and details the ingenious operation of the intelligence network that helped the Patriots win the war. 

This program will be presented as a Zoom meeting.  You can attend this program online or via telephone. The URL and phone number for the "meeting" will be emailed to all registrants upon completion of registration and also one hour prior to the start time.
