He was so knowledgeable about Pollock and Krasner's life and the art scene in which they lived during their time. The tour includes a look inside Pollock's studio, which is breathtaking as well as a tour of their home. The property is so tranquil and peaceful as well might I add. If you are an art lover/fan this tour is a must do!

Horton Point Light is a lighthouse on the north side of Eastern Long Island, New York in the hamlet of Southold. The current lighthouse was built and the tower was first lit in 1857. The site is on a bluff 60 feet above Long Island Sound. The tower was automated in 1933 and is now operational. The tower is 58 feet high with the focal plane of the light being 103 feet above sea level. The tower is white with a black lantern and a copper dome. The light has a slow green flash every ten seconds. The lighthouse was a commissioned by George Washington himself in 1790 though the land was not acquired until 1855. It is still an active aid to navigation and when it's open to the public, visitors can climb the tower. [Review 15313 overall, 815 of 2021, round number 200 in New York.]

Horton Point Lighthouse, operated by the Southold Historical Society, is an interesting diversion…read morefor an hour or so if you're in the area. The lighthouse is an operating lighthouse. There's a small local naval history museum on the ground floor open on weekends between Memorial Day and Columbus Day, staffed by volunteers who are knowledgeable, friendly, and warm. Visitors to the lighthouse may climb to the top of the lighthouse when the museum is open. Some dexterity is required to do this, including the ability to climb narrow, winding stairs, and a short ladder. Temperatures in the lantern room can exceed outside temperatures by more than several degrees. I surmise that visiting the lantern room may not be possible when the weather is extremely hot. There's a lovely pebble beach here, assessed by wooden stairs near the parking lot. Both the stairs and the beach, with large boulders strewn about, are very photo worthy. On a clear day, one may see across Long Island Sound to the shores of Connecticut. There's a set of picnic tables on the lighthouse grounds, too. Other Comments: - Waze gave us wrong directions for the last turn. A turn onto Lighthouse Road, which is the correct way to reach the lighthouse's parking lot, should have been the last instruction. Instead of doing this, Waze directed us westward past Lighthouse Road to turn onto a private road. - Parking is $5. Admission to the lighthouse is an additional $5 per individual, or $10 per family. The admission fee comes with a Southold Historical Society "Visitor's Passport," which gives the bearer one free visit to Society's Maple Lane Museum Complex. - Verizon Wireless signal here is wonky -- OK in some places, but non-existent in others. Be sure to coordinate with your group members in-person before you wander the grounds. - There are reasonably maintained men's and women's bathrooms.

They were ready to pay the ultimate price for freedom. I'm ready to run through a wall again right now just thinking about it. The history here is tangible. You can feel it in the air. A calm, yet heavy energy. I almost felt the walls trying to talk to me. It was cloudy and raining when we went, but I can't imagine a better setting to first see this lighthouse. It felt like a scene out of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind. They have countless memorabilia, but my favorite thing other than G-Dubs John Hancock was the Original Desk of Jacob Hand, who was the First Keeper of the Lighthouse. Such a well built desk. They don't make desks like this anymore. On the back of the 1796 document authorizing the purchase of the land is where G's signature lies. Clear as day. Pen on paper. I got chills. He was really him. I will leave you with my favorite G-Bug quote: "The harder the conflict, the greater the triumph." IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

We figured the…read morelighthouse itself would be closed and we'd still be able to get closer, but there is a large fence preventing you from walking up. The parking lot has a couple of tower viewers where you can insert $.25 to get a close-up of the lighthouse and surrounding area (the one on the left is broken). There's large parking lot with an Info center, kids playground, and picnic tables. Thankfully, the very clean restrooms were open, even though everything else was closed. Open on weekends 10:30 - 4:30 weather permitting.

They charge a cover to get in, but it was worth it to be entertained as hard as we were by the people taking the stage here. Drinks were actually not as expensive as I thought they would be. The bartender here was super fun and in a great mood which really added to the vibe. Karaoke here is on a stage which adds to the performance value in my opinion. They have lots of songs to choose from, and everyone was really supportive. It's definitely an older venue, so don't come in here expecting things to be pristine. That said it has a lot of history to it and I'm glad it's still around. My only complaint was that karaoke ended so abruptly - I wish we had gotten a heads up that it was the last chance to sign up for a song when it was closing down. Lots of fun at this place.
