From 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM, the Colonial Crawl Walking History Tour will take place throughout downtown Lindenhurst. Participating businesses will each represent a different time period in American history, with docents stationed at each stop sharing information about national events during that era and how they connected to life here in Lindenhurst. The first 250 attendees will receive a commemorative sash and a themed pin at each stop. Costumes are encouraged – come dressed as your favorite decade!
