John Andre’s trial and hanging to Sir Guy Carlton’s tribute to the new republic- Orangetown was were where history happened.

Hopes and dreams for a better society suffered many setbacks in the 70’s\, but the American dream continued.  As we prepare for the nation’s Semiquincentennial – the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 2026\, looking back From Democracy to Disco can serve as a blueprint for the future. \nFREE admission.  CLICK HERE for more information.
