This person has found tons of pictures from Kings Park from the late 1800s up until the 1980s. Many of them are the Psychiatric center back in its heyday. But then again, until the 60s or so, that was the biggest thing in Kings Park. You will also love these if you went to school in Kingss Park in 1971 (lots of pics from that year) or before (or knew anyone who did). I would LOVE to travel back in time to when these pictures were taken. It was such a small, peaceful town.

Yeah, that's where I got these pictures from. It's a cool site. I recommend joining the message board. The people on the site know a LOT about LI history that it amazes me. And the pictures they dig up and put on the message board are amazing. I've been joined for over a year. It's free of course.
My name is Steve Weber, a local resident of Kings Park and the media director of the Kings Park Heritage Museum, thank you much for posting this information. We have been scanning in these pictures from the Kings Park Heritage Museum Collection for about a year now. I have a confession to make, all the pictures were scanned in by my 8 year old daughter and my 11 year old son. T
The "thing" on the fellows head, I'm not sure what its called, but was used to measure the bumps on people's head and the general shape of the head as a study to determine if there is any correlation to mental illness. The results I believe were inconclusive.
If anyone has any old pictures of KP, please forward to info@kingspark.net, we would love to add to the museum's collection.
all the best
Steve
