*Since the late 1920s, an unusual roadside stand has stood on the south side of Route 25 in Aquebogue. Built as a vegetable stand, the wood-shingled structure resembles a miniature lighthouse and is often referred to as the “witch’s hat.” The property has changed hands several times and a number of items have been peddled there, from plants to Girl Scout cookies. Though somewhat rundown, the stand is still there, signaling to motorists headed east that they are entering North Fork turf.
