 3rd Sundays Smithtown Masonic Temple

Take the LIE to exit 56.  At the end of the ramp, left on Rte 111 going north.  Stay on Rte 111 until it comes to Rte 25 and Rte 25A in Smithtown.

From the intersection of Rte 111, Rte 25 and Rte 25A go north on  Rt25A.  In a very short distance, less than 0.1 mi, you will see a  left turn called River Road.  Its real name is Nissequogue River Rd,   but all that would not fit on a sign, so it is condensed to River Rd.    Make the left turn onto River Rd. The landmark is the big white  Presbyterian Church.

Go north on River Rd about 500 yards or so, and you will see the  Smithtown Masonic Temple on the left.  If you get to the top of the  hill and see the train tracks, turn around.  If you don't see any of this, you are lost.  Go back to go, do not collect $200, and start over.
