Village of Lindenhurst Trustee Douglas Madlon recently joined Keith Arco & Al Lopez of the Village DPW Horticultural Department in helping plant trees throughout the community, supporting efforts to keep our neighborhoods beautiful, healthy, and green.
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. All participants, those pre-registered and those registering day of will need to report to the Village Square to obtain their registration materials. 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. Additional medals can be purchased for $10. For more information, please visit the Society’s Facebook page – Breslau Lindy, or email lindenhursthistoricalsociety@gmail.com or call631-506-8431.

The Village of Lindenhurst proudly recognized Ed Kozlowski upon his retirement after an extraordinary 45 years of dedicated service to the community.
Mr. Kozlowski spent his career serving as a Heavy Equipment Operator (HEO) with the Department of Public Works. Throughout his four and a half decades of service, he earned the respect and appreciation of his colleagues through his ability, diligence, and commitment to the Village and its residents.
In recognition of his remarkable career, Mayor Michael Lavorata, with the unanimous support of the Village Board of Trustees, proclaimed Wednesday, July 29, 2026, as “Ed Kozlowski Day” in the Village of Lindenhurst. The proclamation honors Kozlowski for his 45 years of faithful service and his lasting contributions to the community.
“Ed has made a lasting difference, not only in the work of our Department of Public Works, but also in the lives of the people he worked alongside. We are deeply grateful for everything he has done for Lindenhurst and wish him nothing but health, happiness and many wonderful years ahead in retirement,” said Deputy Mayor Maryann Weckerle.

Village of Lindenhurst Officials have voiced concern over the amount of debris and pollutants in and along our creeks and storm drainage systems. This on-going problem, of all types of debris, such as plastic containers, aluminum cans, glass bottles, Styrofoam, branches, grass, and leaves, entering the creeks, causes blockage and flow issues for storm water moving along the creeks, into the canals, and to the Great South Bay.
When we get one of those heavy rain storms that dumps several inches of rain in an hour or so, the storm water becomes an issue. Our creeks and streams can fill up very quickly, and the presence of debris causes problems with the proper flow of the water, which leads to major flooding problems on our roadways and adjacent properties.
While our Village DPW routinely checks the creeks for debris, we can all help prevent our creeks from backing up in certain storms by not throwing leaves, branches, grass clippings, debris, and garbage into the creek. Here are some tips you can take to keep the creek clean of debris:
Please, also be reminded that there are laws against littering and polluting, and anyone caught illegally dumping into our waterways will face possible fines and legal action.
The Village thanks you for your cooperation, care, and commitment to our safety and environment. Together, we can make a difference.
