SUMMARY:THE OYSTERMEN OF STATEN ISLAND
DESCRIPTION:Menu featuring an oyster 1906 NYPL NR\n  \nThe waters off Staten Island once teemed with delicious oysters. One stretch of Richmond Terrace\, historically known as the Shore Road\, was even referred to as “Captain’s Row” owing to the many oyster-boat captains who purchased or built fine homes along the thoroughfare. In the late 1840s African-American oystermen from Snow Hill\, Maryland relocated to Sandy Ground. They were beginning a new life after enslavement laws in their home state threatened their freedom. This program analyzes the lives and livelihoods of these oystermen\, as well as the local oyster industry which provided their income. \nWEDNESDAY\, FEBRUARY 19\, 2025\, 6:30 PM\nPlease arrive ten minutes before the program starts. Light refreshments will\nbe served after the event. \nSPEAKER: Patricia M.

SUMMARY:STATEN ISLAND’S FARMING LEGACY
DESCRIPTION:Image: Farm on Richmond Hill Road\, 1937\, Percy Loomis Sperr\, NYPL\n  \nWhen seventeenth century European settlers arrived\, they had difficulty planting and growing in unfamiliar territory. Fortunately\, the native Lenape offered assistance. The successful agricultural community that resulted lasted until the 1950’s. Gentlemen farmers\, including Frederick Law Olmsted and Dr. Samuel T. Akerly\, arrived in the nineteenth century. They made significant contributions to successfully tilling the earth. Their farming traditions would be added to and complemented by the growing techniques of immigrant Italians and Greeks at the turn of the twentieth century. Discover our agricultural ancestors and how they lived off of the land. \nSPEAKER\nPatricia M. Salmon\, FOBH Historian and a Curator of History\, retired\,\nfrom the Staten Island Museum \nSUNDAY\, OCTOBER 20\, 2024\, 1:00-2:30 PM \nST.
