Bayside Historical Society is excited to have author Rebecca Bratspies return for an ongoing presentation about more of the intriguing individuals behind the names of New York City's most famous roads, bridges, neighborhoods, and institutions. From the Kosciuszko Bridge to the Outerbridge Crossing to Shirley Chisholm State Park, these names reflect the vibrant history of the city that never sleeps, though few are aware of their real stories. Join Rebecca Bratspies once again as she reveals the dynamic personalities behind the names that have become New York's urban shorthand for traffic jams, culture, and recreation.
Admission is $10.00 for BHS members and $15.00 for non-members
