If you wish to attend the August 11 barbecue at the Plum Island lighthouse, you will need to make your reservations very soon. The deadline for paid reservations is August 1, due to Plum Island rules, but you may not wish to wait that long (to be sure there's still room). There will be a Revolutionary War reenactment, among other activities, and guests will include some former Plum Island keepers who have agreed to share their memories with us. Call 631-477-4121 for reservations or for more information. ------------------ |
