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.

This was equally great...and not that great…read more.. The Great: * The music. Seriously, it was amazing. It was like Niles was having a hangout session with his awesome rockstar buddies and we all got to watch. Very cool. * The setting. Festival at a vineyard. Say no more. Beautiful! * The parking / traffic. This was seriously easy. Given, there were only 3k people there, not the 10k expected, but the in/out was simple. * Since there was only one main stage, there could've been a long layover btw bands. They did a great job with this and during one of the longer layovers (before Beck), they put Thomas Gold on stage to keep people dancin'. Well done! The Not so Great: * Food trucks- Good idea, but with no regular tent vendors, the 3k people that were there all had to hit up 5 food trucks. It took me AN HOUR to get two hot dogs. That's insane. * No set times. This is like festival 101 here. Publish when artists are taking the stage! Everyone I asked, from merch vendors to security guards, had NO clue. * Tuesday/Wednesday show. Yikes. Takes a lot of the NYC crowd out of it (wait, maybe that should be put in the Great column?) * Pharell had a pretty major billing here but only stayed for 3 songs. No bigs, it was still cool, but it should have been put as "Special Appearance by..." instead of his name in lights. I could see how people were pretty pissed about that. Overall, this has so much potential and the first year problems could be easily overlooked bc the music was that good. Hoping that this fest is here to stay! Great job, Niles and co.!

It's a shame because the grounds are beautiful, the staff that sat and served were very friendly. I was really looking forward to this visit. In email I was sent the menu, reservation policy, and a form to fill out with the option to pre order the mixed flight ($30 per person) or antipasto ahead of time. I had confirmed in written email that I had a group of 8 and I filled out the form for "number of guests at $30 per person" as 1. Everyone else in my group planned to order from the regular menu and do a couple of bottles for the table. When I arrived it was very disorganized and understaffed, with a big wait time to be seated and served. We were sitting for maybe a half hour before someone addressed us. When they did, they came out with 8 sets of the mixed flights! I said that I filled it out for 1 and that everyone else was ordering from the menu. So she went back to check with the manager, Julie. Before Julie even spoke I could feel a combative energy when approaching me. She said she "assumed" the 1 that I put for the mixed flight was "a typo" and couldn't respond to me as to why she didn't communicate the confusion. She said the group number applies to the number of flights. She said she can't just have everyone else "sitting around" and I assured her that everyone was getting something from the regular menu. She said that she never had a problem before and asked me if I even read the information that was sent to me. So basically if you do a group reservation, everyone is forced to do the mixed flight. Even if someone else wants the red flight which is not an option to pre order. She said we would need to order the mixed flights first to be able to order a bottle from the regular menu. No where did it say any of this ANYWHERE on this information sheet. I did in fact read it multiple times and had my group read it before making reservations. After going back and forth with me, she then says "you know what, do whatever you want to do so you can have a good day" very passive aggressively as if I offended her and walks away. Her tone was extremely condescending. My whole group was in shock and very uncomfortable. At this point we had been here for an hour and we were deciding what to do from here. The waitress came back and asked what we wanted to do and I said I wasn't sure because I am uncomfortable with how I was spoken to. She was very sweet and was understanding. She told us whatever we wanted to do if we wanted to stay, we can let her know what we want, which put us more at ease. I asked her for a couple of minutes and she said no problem just to grab her since she's all around. We couldn't find her after that and decided to leave. As a customer, I am appalled by the behavior of the manager. This was not professional or appropriate conduct. I feel for the staff who seem to be doing their best with the given situation.

We had a wine tasting and also a moonshine shot flight that consisted of honey, apple pie, raspberry, and coffee. The only one we really liked was the honey. But it was fun to do anyway. as far as our tasting, we really enjoyed the White Satin which is a white Merlot. We don't usually like white wine so we were surprised that we really enjoyed it. We ordered the meatballs, which tasted like the frozen meatballs my cousin makes in a jelly sauce in her crockpot at family parties. lol. We also got a Mediterranean app that consisted of Taziki, hummus, toasted, pita and olives. I haven't been here in years and asked about the horses that used to be here.
