Join John Hanc, author of Jones Beach: An Illustrated History, as he takes us back in time to the halcyon days at this landmark state park, when a trip to the beach was a family affair and Guy Lombardo staged shows at the Marine Theater. He also will explore Robert Moses' vision and how Jones Beach came to be one of the jewels in the state park system. Books will be available for sale and signing.
