The 2023 season truly has yet to begin but some things are happening and as usual to stay up to date it's a good idea to visit

JEREMIAH SMITH HISTORY AND OTHER RELATED SUBJECT AREAS

For some time we have had posted here our history of Jeremiah Smith. It's now been removed from this page. As that narrative and all other associated historic narratives that had appeared on the site have also been removed. Those associated narratives were a history of the Old House and the John Smith and John Jett families who lived in the Old House compound, a revised history of early Water Island (1877-1895), and a history of the real land pirates of Fire Island: the Oaksmiths. And a history of early Cherry Grove our premier history that too has been archived for now.

Everything is undergoing updating to take account of new information and will return for public view once that process has completed. 

Anyone with a particular need for information about what we have written about any of the above subject areas can contact this editor by private message via the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/FireIslandStar
