Cornelia Returns
After 20 years, a painting of Cornelia Stewart, wife of Garden City founder Alexander Turney Stewart, was recently returned to The Garden City Historical Society. The Society had lent the painting of Cornelia, who was approximately 30 years old at the time, to the Nassau County Museum in 1986. It had come to the Society's attention that the painting of Cornelia was still in the County archives. In cooperation with Deputy Commissioner Tracy Kay (left) of Nassau County Parks, Society President Brian Pinnola (right) arranged for the painting’s return.
