Attendees at Mile Marker Day will be asked to start their voyage at the westernmost remaining mile marker, Marker #7, on Franklinville Road in Laurel, where they will be given a series of riddles about each mile marker they pass as they head east along the route.

There will also be music, refreshments and performances at selected mile markers along the way. Daniel McCarthy, an author of many local history articles in the Peconic Bay Shopper, who works in the Whitaker Historical Collection room of the Southold Library, will play Benjamin Franklin.

tHE NAtUrAL BEAUtY OF PLUM ISLANd EXHIBItIONNOW tHrU MAY 30

This Southold Historical Society exhibition entitled “The Natural Beauty of Plum Island: Sea, Seals, Sunsets and More” features photographs and paintings of Plum Island, NY by Bob Lorenz and John Sargent. Bob Lorenz, a retired commercial photographer who divides his time between Old Saybrook and New York City, and John Sargent, a Waterford painter and retired art teacher, traveled to Plum Island over many months to capture the natural beauty of the island. Most recently associated with the animal disease lab located there, Plum Island has a rich and varied history, from its days as a royal manor to actions that took place on the island during the War of 1812. During the mid-to-late 19th century, it was mainly a private retreat of the Jerome family of New London, who protected the large osprey population that would occupy the island each year. When Fort Terry was established on the island in 1898, a half century of construction and military exercises left the island denuded of its once pristine ecosystems. Since the forts closure in the late 1940s and the establishment of the lab, the island has slowly been returning to a place of diverse plant life. Lorenz and Sargent met on a trip to the island and were enchanted by its beauty. They secured permission from the Department of Homeland security to photograph and draw at different locations on the island. During the next year and half, the two artists made many trips there to document the undeveloped parts of the island. The exhibit will be on display at the Cosden-Price Gallery in the Society’s Reichert Family Center, located at 54127 Main Road, Southold, now through May 30, 2015, Thursday-Saturday, 1-4pm. An additional grouping of works by both artists will also be on exhibit at the Floyd Memorial Library in Greenport from May 5 through June 15. For more information on this exhibit or other Society programs, please contact the Southold Historical Society at (631) 765-5500 or visit www.southoldhistoricalsociety.org.

The 1858 Chace Map hanging on a wall in the SCHS Library Archives is one of the finest maps of Suffolk County ever made, as well as one of our most popular resources with library patrons. The surveys for the map were the work of J. Chace Jr., and the map was published by Robert Pearsall Smith (the cartographer) and John Douglass in 1858. This monumental map covers Long Island from Huntington to Montauk and Orient Point. Divided into two main sections, upper and lower, the upper section focuses on Huntington, Smithtown, Islip, and Brookhaven (including most of Fire Island and Oak Island). The lower section covers the eastern end of LI, including Brookhaven, Riverhead, Southampton, Southold, East Hampton, Gardiner’s Island, and Shelter

Island. The map also includes detailed sections for parts of Amityville, East Setauket, Commack, West Huntington, and many other areas.The extraordinary detail throughout the entire map is especially noteworthy, with Chace’s survey work being the most accurate and in-depth study of the region undertaken in the first half of the nineteenth century. Chace specified roads, farms, bridges, and the individual family names of various properties. In addition to noting property owners and important households, the map includes business directories for the largest and most important towns, as well as engraved views of the Riverhead Courthouse and of prominent homes in Greenport, Good Ground, and Aquebogue.
