Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and his colleagues on the Town Board invite you to experience ‘Oyster Bay: As It Was A Century Ago,’ a historical presentation and visual tour of Historic Oyster Bay on Saturday, September 26, 2026 at 1:00 p.m., at the Community Center located on Church Street in Oyster Bay. Hosted by Town Historian John Hammond, this slide show presentation will take viewers on a trip back in time through vintage photographs from his personal collection, many of which have never been viewed publicly, and include a discussion on the rich history of one of the oldest communities on Long Island. A Q&A is expected to follow the presentation.

 

Supervisor Saladino stated, “Take a visual stroll through Historic Oyster Bay, as we revisit some notable Roosevelt homes, the house of the infamous Typhoid Mary, the old mill, the firehouses, and the renowned Vanderbilt Cup races. See the Oyster Bay School as it was and the Oyster Bay Free Library as it began, and some historic old businesses that used to thrive in town. This visual slide show promises to be a wonderful immersion into a snapshot in time – a select year in Oyster Bay’s past – full to the top with history, nostalgia, and so many great stories.”
