The BraesGlen Cove, N.Y. – The North Shore Historical Museum invites the Glen Cove community and beyond to don their finest flapper fringe and bow ties for an evening of elegance, history, and roaring good fun at its Annual Gala, themed “Gatsby at 100!” This year’s celebration marks the centennial of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby and promises to transport guests straight into the heart of the 1920s.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Webb Institute—formerly the Herbert L. Pratt Estate, The Braes—this Gold Coast treasure offers the perfect setting for a night inspired by Fitzgerald’s glittering world. Beneath chandeliers and stars, guests will enjoy a lavish buffet dinner, drinks and hors d’oeuvres, live music, and a special lecture by Dr. Richard Harris exploring the cultural legacy of women of the Gatsby Age.

Gatsby-inspired attire is encouraged, adding to the immersive experience of stepping back in time. From vintage glamour to scholarly insight, the evening blends celebration with reflection on Long Island’s storied past.

Tickets are $150 for Museum Members and $175 for Nonmembers. Seating is limited and tickets will not be sold at the door, so early reservations are strongly encouraged. Proceeds from the gala support the Museum’s ongoing mission of Preserving Yesterday for Tomorrow, helping to ensure that the rich heritage of the North Shore continues to educate and inspire future generations.

In addition to the gala, the Museum is proud to announce the upcoming opening of a new exhibit commemorating the 300th anniversary of the Locust Valley Quaker Meetinghouse—a landmark of spiritual and civic life in our region. This exhibit will explore the Meetinghouse’s enduring legacy and its role in shaping the values of the North Shore community.
