This Valentine’s Card, which features a girl on a balcony sending forth Valentine’s wishes on the wings of doves, was sent to Ithaca, NY at a cost of one cent from New York City in 1906. The card was donated by Helen Prince.

Camp Pinecrest Dunes History

Pinecrest Dunes was one of Southold’s most successful summer camps almost from its inception. This humble institution was a little different from other camps that were located on the North Fork that were founded by religious institutions. Camp Pinecrest Dunes was secular meaning anyone could attend, regardless of religion or social class.
