Tomorrow, Aug. 16, at 10:30 a.m., New York State and federal officials will join the Montauk Historical Society to announce major milestones in the protection and restoration of the historic Montauk Point lighthouse. The landmark located on the easternmost point of Long Island underwent an extensive multi-year renovation and will be significantly protected from waves and coastal storms due to a new stone revetment that will prevent erosion and degradation of the site.

WHERE: Camp Hero State Park, 2000 Montauk Hwy, Montauk, NY 11954 (follow signs upon arrival)
