A special
ribbon cutting ceremony
took place to
celebrate the opening of the new Fire Island
National Seashore Patchogue Ferry Terminal, then all
enjoyed the 1st Annual Art Contest & Exhibition
presented by the Friends of Fire Island. |
|
 |
|
The new 4.6 million terminal
building is reminiscent of the historic workshop of
famed boat builder Gil Smith. It sits prominently
along the Patchogue River. Since 1980, a terminal at
this site has provided seasonal ferry boat access to
Watch Hill, on Fire Island. The new terminal
building, with its multipurpose room and additional
restrooms, will be able to accommodate larger groups
for programs and ferry tours to Watch Hill. Rotating
exhibits are also planned for this facility. |

|
The front of the building displays a map of all the
National Park Service South Shore of Long Island
properties on the main land and Fire Island National
Seashore. |
Girl Scouts presented the colors for the Pledge of
Allegiance and were on hand to discuss a native
plant garden they are preparing at the terminal. |
