GPHS Celebrates Its 30th Anniversary

2012 marks the 30th Anniversary of the official start of the GPHS. It was in 1981 that the first meeting was held to discuss starting a historical society. Then after much hard work, the fledgling group received its charter from New York State in 1982. 

GPHS May Meeting

Our next GPHS meeting will be on Thursday, May 17 at 7 p.m at the Patchogue-Medford Library. A presentation called "On Eagle's Beak:  A History of the Montauk Point Lighthouse" will be given. This presentation is co-sponsored by the PML and the GPHS and all are welcome to attend.
