Montauk Lighthouse Museum The Montauk Point Light is a lighthouse located adjacent to Montauk Point State Park, at the easternmost point of Long Island, in the hamlet of Montauk in the Town of East Hampton in Suffolk County, New York. The lighthouse was the first to be built within the state of New York, and was the first public works project of the new United States. It is the fourth oldest active lighthouse in the United States.[4] Long listed on the National Register of Historic Places, in 2012, it was designated as a National Historic Landmark for its significance to New York and international shipping in the early Federal period.

Welcome to Long Island. Yes, Long Island really is LONG. 118 miles from Montauk Point Lighthouse on the East end to Shore Parkway in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, there are almost 8 Million people living on this gigantic Sand Bar, created about 20,000 years ago when the last great Glacier began melting and as it retreated North, it left mostly earth and ground rocks and sand and formed much of what we now know as Long Island.
But, Wait, we will let your Tour Guide tell you the stoies on many of our wonderful tours of Long Island including those on the East End - Orient Point - Montauk - the Hamptons PLUS Brooklyn and Queens on the Western End. What ? Didn't you know that most of New York City's people live on Long Island in the counties of Queens and Kings County, better known as Brooklyn.
History dating back to the Native Americans and then the Dutch, English, and after the American Revolution, totally American.
