Virtual Sandwiched In with Andrew Rimby - The Traveling Bachelor in Huntington Village - A Virtual Whitman Walking Tour

While working as a journalist, in 1849, in Brooklyn, Whitman makes a journey to visit his relatives in the Huntington area. He provides a personal account of his journey both on foot and on the recently built Long Island Railroad in his “Letters from a Travelling Bachelor.” He begins his journey in Huntington Village where he had created The Long-Islander (now known as Long Islander News). Whitman called Huntington “one of the prettiest villages of the island,” and in the case of life imitating art, Andrew Rimby, who is a PhD candidate at Stony Brook University and an expert on Whitman and his life, will be taking you on a virtual historic trip through Huntington Village. He will discuss which structures Whitman would have seen when working at The Long-Islander and a few sites that Whitman would surely approve of.
