The 8th annual Culper Spy Day will be held on Saturday, September 10 (rain date: September 11) from 10am to 4pm. A collaboration of more than thirty local institutions and organizations, Culper Spy Day is an activity-filled day of community events highlighting the history behind George Washington’s intelligence gathering ring.
Special Collections will have on view facsimiles (copies) of its two George Washington letters at the headquarters of the Three Village Historical Society in Setauket, New York.
While this is a FREE community wide event, there are fees associated with specific experiences. Visit the event website for more information: https://www.tvhs.org/culper-spy-day
