Event Details

Islands are by nature mystical, mysterious, and mutable.  So it seems fitting that Plum Island, about a mile beyond the eastern tip of Long Island’s North Fork, is shaped like a question mark.  But, this island is different.  Historically, ecologically, and scientifically it is unlike any other island anywhere in the world.  Join Amy Kasuga Folk, co-author of A World Unto Itself: The Remarkable History of Plum Island, New York, as she surveys the history of this mysterious place.
