Meets Locust Valley at the North Shore Historical Museum The newly opened
North Shore Historical Museum on Glen Street in
Glen Cove was recently host to Amy Driscoll who
gave a slide presentation titled Downton Abbey
Meets Locust Valley. The old courthouse overflowed
with guests, and it was standing room only for this
popular presentation. Discoll compared
the lifestyles of Downton Abbeys ficticious
Lord and Lady Grantham and their servants; albeit
based on the real English aristocracy, to the
wealthy estate owners and their staff in the era of
the Gold Coast in Locust Valley, Glen Cove and
beyond. English teapots
were displayed in the showcase on loan from NSHM
vice president, British born, Victoria
Crosby. Several board
members wore traditional costume in keeping with
the event, historian Monica Randall, videographer
Barry Rivadue and Eve Califano, who displayed a
copy of the deed of her home which is the original
Latting House for which Lattingtown was
named. Following the
presentation a delightful traditional English tea
with scones, lemon curd, berry preserves and
clotted cream was served along with Scottish
shortbread. This event was
organized by Linda Darby, a board member of the
North Shore Historical Museum. An exhibit of
glamorous gowns and accessories from Monica
Randalls Gatsby era collection will be
featured at the museum from May until Labor Day
with a preview reception on Friday May
3rd. |
