With support from the Gardiner Foundation, LI Traditions, in association with filmmakers Greg Blank and Barbara Weber will produce a feature length documentary about the south shore bay houses in the Town of Hempstead, dating back to the 1800s when baymen built shelters while they harvested clams, shellfish and wildfowl.  The houses have been passed down from generation within the same families.  Today there are approximately 30 bay houses in the Town.
