Nathan Hale Lecture in the Conklin barn on Friday, September 18th at 7:00 pm.

Nathan Hale can be considered many things: a hero, a martyr, a failed spy.

But mostly Nathan Hale is a mystery.

Join Toby Kissam and Town Historian Robert Hughes for a presentation on the many theories about Nathan Hale. Was he captured in Huntington? Were his famous last words his own?

Find out if there is an answer to these and other questions.
