Join us on Sunday, June 22 at 11 AM for the third of six lectures in historian Patricia Salmon’s Historic Neighborhoods of Staten Island series. This lecture will focus on Stapleton. This community was a “reservoir of Teutonic Beer” owing to the presence of several German breweries that thrived off the crystal-clear water of local artesian wells. Discover the ethnic groups that labored at these and other manufactories. Their hard work helped to produce some of the most splendid architecture found on Staten Island. The lecture will also discuss the communities’ maritime history and its effects on the growth of Stapleton, as well as the professional football team that called Stapleton its home. 

This event is FREE with museum admission.
