Upcoming Events

Volksmarch

Sep27

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. 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 9-11 a.m. and the Walk will take place from 9 a.m.-1 p.m.
