Lecture - Historic Neighborhoods of Staten Island Part 5: Historic Tompkinsville/St. George

Join us on Sunday, July 20 at 12 PM for the fifth of six lectures in historian Patricia Salmon’s Historic Neighborhoods of Staten Island series. This lecture takes a relaxing look at Tompkinsville and Saint George by discussing architecture, the Saint George/New Brighton Historic District, industrial history, religious groups, recreational hot spots, educational establishments, famous residents, Staten Island's baseball past, the Quarantine Station and the National Lighthouse Museum. Did you know a person was actually canonized to create the community name of Saint George? This will be covered along with the history of the iconic Staten Island Ferry.
