When you hear the name Walt Whitman, most think of the Long Island icon's poetry or even the mall which bears his name. And when many try to get to the Walt Whitman Birthplace, they often end up at the mall as the two share an address.
Be sure not to mistake 246 Walt Whitman Road for 246 Old Walt Whitman Road or you'll end up at the mall, instead of learning about the history of Long Island's native son, Walt Whitman.
