Join author and historian <a target="_blank" href="https://allthingsliberty.com/author/richard-f-welch/" rel="nofollow noopener">Richard F. Welch</a> in exploring the remarkable and multifaceted Revolutionary War career of Setauket native Benjamin Tallmadge. A gifted leader of dragoons, intelligence and counter-intelligence officer, and master of combined land-and-sea operations, Tallmadge played a critical role in the Patriot war effort.

He fought at the Battles of Long Island, White Plains, and Germantown, defended Patriot civilians in Westchester from British and Loyalist raids, and—while commanding his own legion—launched daring attacks against British outposts on Long Island from bases in Connecticut. At the same time, Tallmadge managed General George Washington’s most consistently active espionage network in Long Island and New York and was instrumental in uncovering the Arnold–André plot to betray West Point.

In this engaging PowerPoint presentation, Bleyer separates fact from fiction, revealing the ingenious methods and real individuals behind the Culper Spy Ring and highlighting the crucial role their intelligence played in helping General George Washington and the Continental Army secure victory.

Halsey House & Garden

Join artist Aurelio Torres for a<a target="_blank" href="https://www.britannica.com/art/plein-air-painting" rel="nofollow noopener"> Plein Air Painting</a> Workshop on Wednesday, July 29th from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the Halsey House &amp; Garden. This hands-on program invites participants to experience the beauty of outdoor painting while working directly from the historic grounds of this historic Southampton History Museum property.

Plein air painting, literally “in the open air," encourages artists of all levels to slow down, observe the landscape, and translate light, color, and atmosphere directly onto canvas. Under the guidance of Torres, participants will explore composition, brushwork, and technique while engaging with the unique historic setting of the Halsey House.

About the Artist:
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/aurelio__torres/" rel="nofollow noopener">Aurelio Torres</a> is an East Hampton based artist born in Montevideo, Uruguay, into a family of internationally recognized artists. Raised in New York City, he trained in Barcelona, Spain, and studied under his uncle, Augusto Torres, continuing a lineage that includes his grandfather, the influential modernist Joaquín Torres-García. His work spans painting and sculpture, often inspired by natural landscapes, portraiture, and maritime forms such as wooden ships and vessels. Working primarily in East Hampton, Torres is known for a sensibility rooted in simplicity, craftsmanship, and a close connection to the natural world.

Materials: All materials and easels are the responsibility of participants.
Many plein air artists use oil based paints or water color paints, but participants are encouraged to use any medium they enjoy!

This isn't your average performance. The series transforms playtime into a high-level artistic exchange, allowing children to experience jazz through the lens of play. Led by a "Jazz Crew" of professional musicians from Long Island and NYC, the ensemble serves as both performers and mentors, guiding the audience through a journey of syncopation, scat-singing and instrumental discovery.
