In 1819, Walt Whitman, widely recognized as America's greatest poet, was born in a small farmhouse in the rural Long Island community of West Hills in the town of Huntington, NY. Whitman’s writings are treasured for capturing the nation’s spirit during the nineteenth century and examining some of the era’s most significant events including westward expansion, immigration, slavery, and the Civil War.
Join us for a tour of the authentically furnished family farmhouse, including the room in which Whitman was born. Participants will learn about Whitman’s life from his boyhood and teaching years on Long Island to his international prominence as a poet.
FREE! Registration is required.
