On Thursday, November 19, at 7:00 PM, the North Shore Historical Museum will present&nbsp;Cow Neck During the Revolution, an exploration of a North Shore community divided by competing loyalties during America&rsquo;s struggle for independence. While some residents bravely supported the Patriot cause and the struggle for independence, others remained loyal to the British Crown. Following the British occupation of Long Island in 1776, some local families faced hardship, military demands, and the uncertainties of living in occupied territory, while others reaped the rewards of their professed loyalty to the Crown. This lecture explores the experiences of both Patriots and Loyalists, examining the choices they made, the risks they faced, and the consequences of their allegiances. Through local stories, historical documents, and the experiences of Cow Neck residents, the presentation reveals how the Revolution transformed everyday life, strained longstanding relationships, and helped shape the future of the North Shore community.
