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.
