Culper Spy Day

Stop by for a chance to see the Museum’s Culper Spy Letter, on view for a limited time.

In August 2020, the Long Island Museum discovered an uncatalogued Culper Spy Ring letter in its collections. The handwritten double-sided letter is dated November 8, 1779, and is from Benjamin Tallmadge (using his alias, John Bolton) to Robert Townsend (alias, Samuel Culper Jr.).

In celebration of the LIM’s discovery of the letter in our archives, we are proud to yet again feature it during this special day.
