The True Story of the Culper Spy Ring Revealed at Hallockville History enthusiasts are invited to uncover the real story behind one of the most fascinating intelligence operations of the American Revolution at a special presentation on Sunday, May 3 from 1:00–3:00 p.m. at the Naugles Barn at Hallockville Museum Farm (6038 Sound Avenue, Riverhead). Former Newsday&nbsp;reporter and author Bill Bleyer will present “The True Story of the Culper Spy Ring,” based on his book George Washington’s Long Island Spy Ring: A History and Tour Guide. The talk will explore the real-life espionage network that operated across Long Island to support George Washington and the Continental Army. Long a subject of intrigue and popularized by the television series Turn, the Culper Spy Ring has inspired countless legends, including stories about Anna Strong’s famous clothesline signals. Bleyer’s engaging PowerPoint presentation separates fact from fiction, revealing how the network truly operated and the critical role it played in securing victory for the Patriots.

Hallockville Museum Farm will host its annual Long Island Fleece &amp; Fiber Festival on Saturday, May 16, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. inviting visitors to experience the full journey of fiber -- from raw fleece to finished textile -- at its historic North Fork campus.
A longtime spring tradition, the festival brings the cycle of fiber to life through live sheep and llama shearing with Long Island Yarn and Farm, spinning, and weaving demonstrations, along with a marketplace featuring more than two dozen regional fiber artists and artisans.
A major highlight this year is the appearance of nationally recognized knitting expert Patty Lyons, who will lead two special sessions focused on practical techniques and problem-solving for knitters. Additional hands-on workshops include an introduction to weaving with the Paumanok Weavers, where participants can create their own scarf; a flat needle-felted farm landscape workshop led by Shamma Murphy; and basket weaving with Barbara Blossey-Chuvalas using natural materials such as silk, seagrass, and wool. Advance registration is required for workshops.
In addition to demonstrations and workshops, visitors can explore a variety of family-friendly activities, including a children’s craft area, agricultural displays, and opportunities to meet the farm’s animals. Attendees are welcome to bring their fiber arts projects to work amongst like-minded creators.
“The Fleece &amp; Fiber Festival connects people directly to the traditions that shaped life on the North Fork,” said Executive Director Heather Johnson. “It’s a chance to see, touch, and learn skills that were once part of everyday life here and that continue to inspire makers today.”
The festival also features live music by the Old Time Jam, local food vendors, and a bake sale hosted by Hallockville Bakers.
Admission is $10 for adults; children 12 and under are free.
Location: Hallockville Museum Farm, 6038 Sound Avenue, Riverhead
