SETAUKET, LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK: SIMPLY REVOLUTIONARY

Inspired by my recent viewing of AMC’s “TURN,” about the Culper Spy Ring (for George Washington), I wanted to visit some of the remnants of that extraordinary time when the bravest of souls fought tirelessly for our ultimate freedom from British rule:

The Brewster House. Caleb Brewster is an American hero and he lived in this home. It was originally built in 1655!
This is the gravesite of Abraham “Abe” Woodhull, a friend of Washington’s, and arguably the greatest spy in the Culper Ring. This is located on the grounds of the Setauket Presbyterian Church.
Setauket Presbyterian Church. Built in 1674. After Washington lost the Battle of Long Island in Brooklyn on August 27, 1776, the British took over all of Long Island and they made this church their garrison. 
Caroline Church. Built in 1729.

10nov17. Long Island, New York.
