Gatsby’s Long Island with Monica Randall
Perhaps the most lavish parties ever held in the pages of American literature
were the Galas Jay Gatsby threw at his estate on Long Island’s North Shore.
The original Gatsby Mansion that inspired F. Scott Fitzgerald,
remains hidden behind rusting gates,
forgotten relics of an era that will never come again.
Join Historian and bestselling author,
Monica Randall
for this colorful slide presentation based on her popular book,
Mansions of the Gold Coast.
