Montauk: From Wilderness to Military Hospital and into the 20th Century

Sunday, June 11, 2023
2-4pm

Tom Walsh

Montauk resident, Tom Walsh presents Montauk’s surprisingly pivotal role in Native American society, its long life as America’s first livestock ranch, and the improbable establishment of Camp Wikoff, a military hospital the size of a small city. Although Camp Wikoff existed only a few weeks, it was the focus of a countrywide media circus and the platform from which Teddy Roosevelt catapulted into a national political career. These events set the stage for the development of the resort town we know today.

 


Coaching Along the Great South Bay

Sunday, May 21, 2023
2-4pm

Jerry and Rita Trapani

The talk will provide a glimpse into the routes taken, Gold Coast estates and their residents, and the logistics of the journey. The Trapani’s have been part of the coach driving community for over 25 years. They were founding members of the Paumanok Driving Club and still serve on the board of directors.
