The Long Island Spy Museum recently facilitated a tour of historic Revolutionary War sites in the Stony Brook/Setauket area for The Angelo Group, which is producing a documentary film for the US Army that focuses on the history of intelligence from Washington to present day.
Pictured here in the Tavern Room of the Austin Roe House (1705), one of the centers of intelligence and espionage during the War, are Long Island Spy Museum CEO Burke Liburt (center) flanked by "Bo" Roberts (left), video photographer for The Angelo Group and Erich Frazier (right), history research analyst, The Angelo Group.
Captain Austin Roe traveled back and forth from Setauket to New York as the provisioner and owner of the Tavern, but carried coded messages which were then ferried across the Sound in Whale Boats to Connecticut, and on to Washington's Headquarters during a four-year period from 1776 to 1780.
And Washington did sleep here!
