Montauk is not unlike the rest of the Hamptons, which has in recent years been discovered by the affluent and hipsters from New York City as well as foreign visitors. The area is a playground that is rich in history and legend. The host of the film is long-time resident Tom Bogdan of Montauk Adventures. Bogdan details the lives of two major Montauk visionaries: Carl Fisher and Herbert Sadkin. The film depicts how their unique visions led to the Montauk of today. John Barrett wrote, directed and produced “Reel Montauk” and Steve Elliot was the cameraman and editor of the film.
The East Hampton Town Historical Farm Museum in the Selah Lester House presents a snap shot of what life was like in East Hampton, NY during 1900. This period in East Hampton history has not been explored before. East Hampton Town owns the three-acre property and the two-bedroom cottage Museum features a growing collection of furnishings, kitchen utensils and other common farmhouse tools. The Farm Museum is open to the public Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
