All are invited to join the Society for their fourth annual noncompetitive fitness walk, touring Lindenhurst historical sites – the Volksmarch begins and ends at the Lindenhurst Village Square and again this year, the Village Lanterne joins the festivities!
Lindenhurst, NY – On September 27, 2026, in celebration of our earliest roots as a community and our residents’ omnipresent community and volunteer spirit, the Lindenhurst Historical Society will host its fourth annual Volksmarch. Volksmarching was founded in Germany over 50 years ago. Participants are invited to stroll through the Village stopping at designated, historically relevant sites. The noncompetitive walk is approximately three miles in length and can be easily traversed at a leisurely gait. At each designated stop, participants will be greeted by a docent conversant in the site’s history and will be given recognition for completing the stop. All registrants completing the entire route will receive a commemorative medal to indicate they successfully completed the walk. The Lindenhurst Historical Society is honored to have the Village Lanterne join the Volksmarch festivities again this year in what is becoming an anticipated annual tradition saluting our German Heritage. Tom Lorch, proprietor of the Village Lanterne, will offer registered adult Volkmarchers who have successfully completed the Volksmarch a Brat and a Beer for $10 at the Village Lanterne following the completion of the Volksmarch.
The Volksmarch will begin and end at Lindenhurst Village Square, 116 North Wellwood Avenue (corner of North Wellwood Avenue and East Hoffman Avenue.) Registration will take place at Village Square from 9AM to 11AM and the Walk will take place from 9AM to 1PM. Pre-registration will be available by contacting the Lindenhurst Historical Society on its Facebook page at Lindy Breslau or by emailing the Society at Lindenhursthistoricalsociety@gmail.com.
Fees for pre-registration or day of event registration are $15 for individuals and $20 for groups.

Collectable commemorative medals will be awarded at the conclusion of the walk at Village Square. One medal will be awarded to each individual participant and to each group participating.
