Because of the lull in guests caused by the pandemic, the Long Island Museum in Stony Brook has been able to locate a letter written in 1779 that was part of the Revolutionary War's Culper Spy Ring, which had its nexus in Setauket. Museum curator Jonathan Olly talks about the find. Credit: Randee Daddona
