| The BIG Duck | ||||
 |
This well-known classic piece of roadside lore can be found on Route 24 between Flanders and Hampton Bays. Yes, you can even go inside. The inside is equipped with a nice little souvenir shop. The duck is now maintained be the Friends of Long Island Heritage. It was originally built by a duck farmer during the Great Depression in 1931. It was inspired by roadside attractions in California, namely a diner shaped like a tea cup. | |||
