Amazing Amagansett

The League of Women Voters of the Hamptons will present the Amazing Amagansett Adventure, a history and art tour, on Wednesday.

The day will begin at 11 a.m. with a tour of the East Hampton Town Marine Museum on Bluff Road. A tour of the East End Classic Boat Society’s Community Boat Shop, located behind the Marine Museum, follows at noon. At 12:20, Isabel Carmichael will speak at and about the Amagansett Life-Saving and Coast Guard Station, which is just around the corner on Atlantic Avenue. Her family moved the station and lived in it for many years before donating it to the town, which moved it back to its original site. The station played a small but significant role in America’s involvement in World War II.

A catered lunch at the Art Barge, at 110 Napeague Meadow Road, is set for 1 p.m., followed by a talk and tour led by Christopher Kohan, president of the Art Barge board. Mr. Kohan will talk about Victor D’Amico, founder of the Art Barge and a founding director of the education department at the Museum of Modern Art. Participants can then choose between a 2:30 tour of the Victor and Mabel D’Amico House at Lazy Point or a stroll and shop on Amagansett Main Street.

Those taking part in the Amazing Amagansett Adventure have been asked to mail a check in the amount of $40 made out to the League of Women Voters of the Hamptons to Gladys Remler, L.W.V. special events co-chairwoman, 180 Melody Court, Eastport 11941, or to call her at 288-9021. Checks should be mailed by tomorrow.
