The Dine and Discover series combines good food with Greenlawn, Centerport, and Long Island’s rich history. In our series, we will feature a different speaker covering a topic relating to our local history and include a three-course meal at Mill Pond House. Situated on the Mill Pond of Centerport, this cozy colonial built almost 100 years ago has a great history with more to come.
