What kinds of colorful, quirky, practical, and whimsical shops could be found "upstreet" in the decades before Prada, Vuitton, and Valentino arrived? What was the business district's retail culture like for shoppers 50 or 100 years ago? Join East Hampton Town & Village historian Hugh King and The Anchor Society's Bess Rattray to learn about what our business district used to be like.
Travel back in time for a fun and informative virtual "walking tour"— with archival images, personal recollections, and video — that will highlight a variety of storefronts and business buildings, providing not just a hit of nostalgia, but a blueprint for creative ways that our community can come together to return heart and soul to Main Street.
Tickets for Tom Twomey Lecture: Let's Get Down to Business! can be booked here.
