Smithtown History with Brad Harris

In 1986 Brad Harris, the Official Smithtown Historian and then Smithtown Council Member in association with Viacom Cablevision produced a series of documentaries on Towns of Smithtown.

These documentaries are the quintessential guide to our shared history. Even the most common places have the most uncommon of history.

One suprise to me was the fact that so many active memebers of the Museum and Historical Society are newcommers to town and take a real interest in their new home. Smithtown is better that you are here. Welcome.

Thank you for your comment, I'm going to work on Mr. Harris and see if we can get him to make a few more films on the history of Smithtown, Kings Park and St James.

Thanks for uploading this. About 2 years ago I took this video out of the library to check it out since I love history. I'm glad it's on here so I can watch it again and show others :-) I'll have to check out the other 2 you have, since I didn't see those.
