This exhibit explores the significant role the humble oyster has played in the lives of Long Islanders over the centuries. It brings together historic objects and images as it explores the biology, sociology, economics, geography and history of this remarkable natural resource and the industry it spawned. The exhibit also explores the plight of the oyster today: struggling to make a comeback, and even doing its part to clean our waters all by itself.
