New York State’s Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation will join us at the library on Saturday, July 25, at 10:30 AM to present The History of Hamlin Beach State Park.

Shallow tropical sea… glaciated landscape… forest… farmland… Civilian Conservation Corps Camp… Prisoner of War site… park. The place we now know as Hamlin Beach State Park has experienced many transformations throughout the ages. And that rich legacy is discernible to this day in the Park’s creatures and features. But it isn’t just the landscape that’s changed. The way humans interact with it has changed too.

Join us as we explore the natural forces and historical events that have shaped our beloved park and learn what local landscapes and lifeforms can reveal about our past.

If you’d like to attend this program, please register now through our Event Calendar.
