An oversized plaque at the eastbound parking area along <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_State_Route_27" class="extiw" title="w:New York State Route 27">New York State Route 27</a> (Sunrise Highway), in the former community known as Canoe Place in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hampton_Bays,_New_York" class="extiw" title="w:Hampton Bays, New York">Hampton Bays, New York</a>. Rather than a standard sized historical marker, the New York State Department of Public Works in conjunction with the New York State Department of Education installed much larger plaques like these at many parking areas and rest areas. This one, of course deals with the history of Long Island, and was clearly aimed at tourists who were driving to The Hamptons, at a time when they still hoped to extend Sunrise Highway east of Shinnecock Hills.
