Update: Fitz-Greene Hallock Homestead

Help preserve a piece of Lake Ronkonkoma history.

The Lake Ronkonkoma Historical Society has made some updates with the Fitz-Greene Hallock Homestead.

The first coat of paint and most of the trim is complete.

“We have been able to raise funds for materials and to pay the painters helpers up to this point,” said Lake Ronkonkoma Historical Society president Evelyn Vollgraff.

They still need about $3,000 to fully finish the project and hope to have a ribbon cutting ceremony on Sept. 24 at 9:30 a.m. for all who have donated to the paint fund.

If any one would like to donate they can send a donation to The Lake Ronkonkoma Historical Society, P.O. Box 2716 Lake Ronkonkoma, N.Y. 11779.
