Mount Sinai Through Time

By Ann Becker, Edna Giffen, Ann M. Becker

Traces the transformation of Mount Sinai and Miller Place from farming hamlets to vibrant suburban communities over three centuries.

This captivating look at two north shore enclaves over time, as they have changed from small farming hamlets to thriving suburban communities, highlights the many changes occurring over more than three centuries. Churches, fire departments and schools were established, farms made way for suburban housing developments, and local residents worked together as these communities grew from small, close-knit farming hamlets catering to summer visitors from New York City. Learn about the Revolutionary war raid that began at the harbor at Old Mans; discover the existence of a long-forgotten railway; and follow the progress of historical preservation and civic activism which helped firmly establish Mount Sinai and Miller Place as thriving communities, dedicated to both remembering the past and protecting their quality of life in the future.
