On Wednesday at 10 a.m. the Montauk Historical Society's executive director, Mia Certic, will discuss the fascinating story of Leisurama during a two-mile excursion through the Culloden Shores neighborhood.

There, Leisurama houses that people bought through Macy's circa 1964 still dominate, some in their original form, some modified considerably over the years.

The place to meet is the parking lot on Soundview Drive between Gull Road and Tern Drive. Laurie Devito, who will lead the walk, can be reached at 631-813-6988 or [email protected].
