The East Hampton Historical Society will kick off its Winter Lecture Series on Friday, Jan. 31, at 7 p.m. with a talk by Robert Hefner on the story behind the Dominy Shops Museum. Mr. Hefner, the project director for the museum, will discuss “what happened to the Dominy Shops in the 1940s and the serendipity that returned them to North Main Street.” There is no cost to attend the program, which will be held at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, but registration through the society’s website is requested. 

Upcoming lectures in the series include, on Feb. 28, Richard Whalen on his research into local place names, which he plans to publish as part of a comprehensive “Encyclopedia of East Hampton Place Names.” David Cataletto will explore the history of houses of worship here on March 28, and on April 25, the town historian, Hugh King, will share the story of the Fowler House, thought to be the only surviving Montaukett house in the town.
