Louise Wilkinson of Riverhead spoke about an incident at Horton's Point Lighthouse
involving disrespectful treatment by an employee, when she had come there with
two service dogs and told she was not allowed to bring the dogs on the property.
She has sent letters to various town organizations as she did not know who is
responsible for who is overseeing the park. The ABTF members advised her that we
would try to find out who is responsible for the park and advise her.
