This talk takes us on a visual PowerPoint presentation of his life, being born in Setauket, going to Yale at a young age, befriending Nathan Hale, becoming the Culper Spy Ring leader and leading a daring raid to attack a British fort in Mastic. On the way back he burned 300 tons of hay in Coram that was meant to feed the British horses over the winter. We go on a journey which started in Mt. Sinai Harbor, to Mastic and back and visit all the structures that Tallmadge and his unit may have seen along the way. Presented by historian, Robert von Bernewitz.&nbsp; Please register.

In the late 1960s, a young songwriter named Kris Kristofferson burst onto the Nashville scene. He was like nobody else in the world of country music—a former U.S. Army captain, Rhodes scholar and Golden Gloves boxer—and he wrote songs like nobody else before or since. He spent the next half-century as an iconic singer/songwriter, and also as a Hollywood star, headlining such films as Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, A Star Is Born, Heaven’s Gate and Lone Star. For many fans, he was simply the greatest songwriter in the history of country music.&nbsp; &nbsp;Please register.2:00 - 3:30 PM
