The Lily Pad on Jessup Avenue is now selling Quogue Historical Society commemorative T-shirts.

Sales of these handsome historical tees will benefit the Quogue Historical Society.
Available in adult sizes, the tees are $6 apiece or two for $10.
As a courtesy to the Village Office, the Lily Pad is also the exclusive purveyor of the Official Quogue Village T-Shirt. The navy, green, or white tees boast the corporate seal of Quogue Village, along with the date of incorporation, 1928, and the “purchase” date, 1659. Village shirts come in toddler, children’s and adult sizes, and are $10 each.
