About this episode

Mia Certic discusses Carl Fisher's significant impact on Montauk's development and history.

Esperanza and Irwin welcome Mia Certic, the Executive Director of the Montauk Historical Society. Carl Fisher's influence in Montauk's history goes beyond his physical legacy of the Montauk Manor, the Carl Fisher House, Star Island, but also his vision. Fisher saw Montauk as the Miami Beach of the north, a blank palette that Fisher could take as far as his imagination and money would go. Mia Certic tells us in detail the successes, the , and everything in between.
