The Long Island History Project

Episode 75: Anna Smith Strong with Margo Aceri and Danielle Campbell


Listen Later

Margo Arceri grew up with history. A native of Strong's Neck in Setauket, she learned early on the stories of Anna Smith Strong and the role she played in the Culper Spy Ring during the Revolution. She got to explore the very coves and inlets that sheltered Brewster Caleb and Abraham Woodhull.  And she heard it all from Anna's great great granddaughter.

This is a special cross-over episode featuring Margo and Danielle Campbell, newsanchor and journalist for News Channel 12.  Make sure you check out Danielle's interview about her career in radio and New York journalism on episode 7 of the Radio Tower, the official podcast of the Long Island Radio & Television Historical Society.
