Very friendly and warm. The gallery is filled with so much knowledge and history its divine. Some of the pieces featured are from local artist. Which is very nice as sometimes they are present and able to give more insight on piece on display. On Wednesday's at the Ac-baw there is a incredible program dedicated to healing the body through drum and dance. I give it my highest recommendations.

Their professionalism and attention to detail are unmatched. Most recently, they framed my 30" x 40" artwork and took special care throughout the entire process. They even hand-delivered the finished piece to the building where my exhibition was located in Manhattan, ensuring it arrived safely and in perfect condition. Sunflower Fine Art Galleries consistently demonstrates true craftsmanship and genuine care for their clients. I highly recommend them for any framing needs, large or small. Working with Sunflower Fine Art Galleries is a worthwhile investment, and I fully trust them to do right by me every single time. I highly recommend the Sunflower Fine Art in West Hempstead for all of your framing needs, or to purchase a beautiful work of art as a gift for someone you love or your home. Shulie

While the St. Paul's Church National Historic Site (NHS) may not be as popular as other National…read moreParks in the North Atlantic Region (it's hard to compete with the Statue of Liberty!), it's a small but mighty national park site. We wanted to support the national parks given the current cuts happening to the federal government. We booked the 45-minute tour on Recreation.gov (very reasonable $1 fee) and arrived about 15 minutes early. The tour guide was dressed in a colonial outfit and was super knowledgeable about the history of the church and stable house. Some highlights of the tour: * We were allowed to ring the 260-year-old bell. The bell was made by Whitechapel Bell Foundry in London, the same company that made the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. * The church features one of the oldest functioning pipe organs in the entire country. It was crafted by Henry Erben (1800-1884) whose father Peter Erben (1771-1863) was the organist at Trinity Church in Manhattan (where Alexander Hamilton is buried). * Dr. Charles Sabin Taft was a physician who was attending a show at the Ford's Theatre in Washington DC on April 14, 1865. He was a bystander during Abraham Lincoln's assassination and one of the first responders to treat President Lincoln. Dr. Taft is buried in this church's cemetery! * This National Historic Landmark is open during many federal holidays like President's Day, Memorial Day, and Juneteenth and it's a great way for people to learn about history via historical re-enactments and guided tours. Don't forget to collect your National Parks passport stamp! There's also a Junior Rangers program for kids, which is pretty challenging compared to other National Parks sites that we've visited. Ask for the program guide before the tour because some of the questions ask about very specific dates and names of people that come up during the tour.

The visitor's center is also closed and if you need a NPS passport stamp, they will bring it outside for you to stamp after your tour. We came on a Thursday morning and were the only ones that showed up for the tour. We basically had a private talk with the guide about the history of this small, one room church. The building itself dates back to the 1700s and has an organ upstairs from the 1800s. Unfortunately due to covid measures we weren't allowed to go upstairs, however, the guide went up himself to play the organ for us. After the tour you're able to walk the grounds on your own which includes a decently sized cemetery with headstones dating from the 1700s to the early 2000s. It was a great experience and best of all, it was FREE!!! You can either drive here or take the 5 train like we did. The church is about 0.7 miles from the subway station although you do have to walk through some pretty sketchy industrial areas that looked like chop shops...
