This book lists daily and weekly chores for the lighthouse keeper of the Montauk Point Lighthouse. The lighthouse is now automated but back in the day the oil torch had to be lit by hand. We’ve come a long way baby 🙂

The Montauk Point Lighthouse is located at the eastern most point on Long Island or as we Long Islander’s like to say “The End”.  It was completed on November 5th, 1796 and was the very first public works project in the new United States of America. Next stop east would be the UK.

The Old East Bath House ticket booths at Jones Beach, Long Island Circa 1929.  Back in the day bus loads of people were dropped off just to the left of these ticket booths early in the day to insure a good spot on the beach. To this day Jones Beach is one of the more crowded beaches.
