Re: local attractions..

the big duck is fun, but its not open in Jan. heres the history

Built in 1931 by Riverhead duck farmer Martin Maurer, as a store to sell his Peking Ducks to passing motorists. It is one of the most famous examples of roadside architecture. Now open to the public as a gift shop and East End tourist information center. Big Duck Quackoff and Holiday Lighting take place every year. Some admire its architecture, others revel in its history and few have said it's the silliest little building you will ever come across. But if you stand along Route 24 at the Flanders/Hampton Bays border and watch the cars go by, you can't help but notice how just everyone turns there head to glance at this unique Long Island landmark landmark, and ends up smiling at the 30-foot-long by 20-foot-high BIG DUCK. The Big Duck, a former duck farmer's poultry store dating back to 1931, has been refurbished and is now open as a gift shop selling duck souvenirs, clothing and other 'duck-a-bilia' merchandise. It also serves as the official East End Visitors Bureau. The gift shop features items such as Big Duck T-shirts, mugs, tote bags, umbrellas, magnets, salt and pepper shakers, note cards, key chains, ceramics, postcards, jellies and more. Golfers can even purchase golf shirts, hats and golf towels, all bearing The Big Duck Logo. Open May - December.

There's also Museum Mile...the only museum I've been to there is the Cradle of Aviation but it was fun (it helped that FH is a big aviation buff).
