An Outstanding Triumph: The Veterans Administration Neuropsychiatric Hospital at Northport, 1925-1940
The US Veterans Bureau began building veterans’ hospitals across the country in 1920, an unprecedented health care delivery system for that time. The land for the VA Hospital in Northport was purchased in August of 1925, with 2025 marking the 100 year anniversary of that momentous acquisition. At this talk, researcher and veteran Robert K. Browne will highlight the unique first (and mostly forgotten) era of the hospital, and remind us of the sacrifices we honor on Veterans Day.
"Sundays at the Society" lectures are sponsored by M&T Bank.
This program is at capacity.
Learn The History Behind Northport's Business District.
Join local historian Dan Sheehan as he weaves the tale of Northport's Historic Business District during this lively walking tour of Main Street. Travel back in time as you hear the stories of the people and landmarks that helped shape Northport, including Jack Kerouac, the Northport Oyster Barons, Rum Runners and the Trolley.
All Ages Welcome
