Historical Sites - The Witches Hat, Memorial Plaque

Witches Hat - Among the numerous farmstands that line Route 25 is a particularly quirky structure. Built in the late 1920's, it still stands today as a familiar landmark to Aquebogue's residents. It is referred to as the "Witches Hat" due to the shape of this wooden-shingled building. The farmstand is in the need of repair, but serves as a comforting landmark to many passersby.
