Pierce Rafferty, Director of the HLFM, will host a screening of his illustrated talk, ‘The Rise and Fall of Hotels on Fishers Island.’
Co-directed by Marisela LaGrave, this illustrated talk chronicles the life span of all Fishers Island hotels from the launching of the first destination hotel in 1877 to the shuttering of the last of Fishers Island three grand hotels in the early 1940s. Later sections document the fiery demise of the original “Big Club and the resurrection of the Pequot, an island institution that has outlasted all its high-class competition. This production was made possible by a generous grant from the Jeanann Gray Dunlap Foundation.
