John Hanc, author of "Jones Beach: An Illustrated History," will talk about his book and the beach as part of the Huntington Historical Society’s Conklin House Lecture Series 2008 on Thursday.
The series features three lectures in the spring and three in the fall that take place in the barn adjacent to the David Conklin Farmhouse Museum, which houses various exhibits and is open free of charge for tours immediately following each lecture.
Admission to the lecture, which starts at 2 p.m., is free to society members and costs $5 for non-members. The barn is 2 High Street in the village.
The book by Hanc, who also writes for Newsday, was published last year by The Globe Pequot Press.
