Farmingdale's Village Historians offered a walking tour through the village for Farmingdale-Bethpage Historical Society members last Sunday. The tour, designed to give insight as to how the village has changed and evolved since its founding almost a century ago in 1904, included portions of the central areas of the village as well as some of the homes that were recently entered into the Town Historic Plaque Program. Despite the threatening weather, 18 local residents arrived prepared for the walk. FULL STORY
