Oyster Bay History Walk
The Oyster Bay History Walk is a path through downtown Oyster Bay, New York that leads the walker to 30 historic sites. It is a 1 mile loop and is the first certified American Heart Association Start! Walking Path on Long Island.
==Origins and development==
The first settlers arrived in Oyster Bay in the 1650s; the Town of Oyster Bay seal includes the date 1653. Over the ensuing 350 years several important events in the religious, military, and social history of Colonial America and the United States occurred there. A few of these events and the people associated with them are celebrated in the History Walk. Seven of the sites included on the History Walk are also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The tour was designed through the collaborative efforts of historian John Hammond,〔Multiple published sources by John Hammond are available, notably including ''Oyster Bay Remembered'' (2002), ''When the sirens sound: the history of the Atlantic Steamer Fire Company and the fire service in Oyster Bay'' (1996), and ''Historic Cemeteries of Oyster Bay'' (2007).〕 Oyster Bay Historical Society Director Thomas A. Kuehhas, and sound recording artist Claire Bellerjeau.
An audio commentary was created to accompany the maps to enable interested walkers to understand the significance of each of the sites on the Walk. These tracks were originally released under the title ''Talk of the Town'', but the name was changed to the ''Oyster Bay History Walk'' in 2008 at the time of certification by the American Heart Association as the first Start! Walking Path on Long Island.〔
