The Invisible Spy: Churchill's Rockefeller Center Spy Ring
Award-winning author Thomas Maier is best known for his riveting biographies, including two books that were made into highly acclaimed TV series, Masters of Sex and Mafia Spies. He is also a local Long Island author. Maier’s new book, The Invisible Spy, tells the story of America’s first secret agent of World War II, the little-known Ernest Cuneo. Working alongside British spies like Ian Fleming, Cuneo was part of Churchill’s spy ring that operated out of Rockefeller Center. Join us for a fascinating talk about the origins of U.S. intelligence, the fight against Nazis, and so much more. Followed by a book sale and signing. Books available from The Next Chapter.
Join us at the Museum immediately following Pridefest's Pride Flag Raising at Village Hall for a reception to kick off Pride Month and unveil our new exhibit, In Fashion. Refreshments will be served.
This exhibit delves into the powerful stories behind the clothing we wear, uncovering the material culture of different communities. Through these stories, the exhibit encourages a deeper understanding of how individual, spiritual, and cultural influences shape identities. In Fashion will be on display at the museum through June.
Please RSVP if you are planning to attend, but walk-ins are welcome.
June Book Club: The Masterpiece
Join us at our June book club to discuss Fiona Davis’s 2018 novel, The Masterpiece. In this brilliant piece of historical fiction, two women grapple with their place in the world, set against the backdrop of Grand Central Terminal. In 1928, Clara Darden is a teacher at the glamourous Grand Central School of Art, working to make her mark as a female artist. Decades later, in the 1970s, Virginia Clay works at the information booth at Grand Central, which has fallen into decline and is at risk of being demolished. When Virginia comes across the abandoned art school, her life is changed as she is drawn into the mysteries of Grand Central’s past and the fight for its future.
Book will soon be available at the Northport-East Northport Public Library. Registrants will be notified when the book is available.
