I highly recommend visiting this affluent part of Long Island for the Polish museum and for the scenic coastal drives.

I thought this venue was so cool. An old elementary school auditorium. We watched the Hot Sardines…read moreperform here and it was fabulous. Definitely a fun and different place to see a show, overall good experience. And it's on a nice strip of gorgeous restaurants/bars for any pre or post festivities! Check it out, see what's playing. Port Washington itself is absolutely stunning so it's worth it with that alone. Go early and check out the area.

Landmark on Main Street , located on Main Street in Port Washington is a cultural arts theater …read more It is in an old historic building that was renovated to use for the Arts as a non profit. What a great place to have in small town USA! I have seen amazing concerts there, this year alone: ranging from Ian Anderson, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Darlene Love, Paul Reiser, David Bromberg, Andrea Markovicci For one of the shows, I had injured my knee and couldn't walk easily. The staff went out of their way to make sure I was able to access a seat with a cane. I am so grateful to them for making an aisle seat happen for me. Every show gets better and better! Can't beat Landmark anywhere else on Long Island! Parking can be found on the street and across the street at the Library. There are about 40 seats in the balcony and another 350 in the orchestra. Every seat is comfy and gives a wonderful view of the very large stage.

It was built in 1850 and then rebuilt in about 1868 because of heavy wind and sea damage. A very cool place that some people say is haunted. Of course many lighthouses are said to be haunted because they are spooky places but this one has a reason for the weirdness. The light gets it's name from the revolutionary war. The story or legend has it that England become embarrassed by public executions because the defiant colonist would scream out nasty things about the king before being hung. So the British decided to kill the recalcitrant rebels in private. They took them out here and chained them to the rocks that the light was eventually built on and let the tide come it and drown them. I have even heard that this was the main inspiration for part of the the Declaration of Independence. Of course the ghosts of the rebels could never find peace and still inhabit tha area. I don't know how true the story is but the rocks and lighthouse are a cool place to kayak. The sound narrows and is only about four miles across so it is an easy yak to get from Connecticut to New York. I've stopped at the rocks many times, never seen any ghosts but it is a convenient place to stop and take a leak. A light with a spooky history

Awesome to anchor and watch the nyc sunset , this place has a lot of history definitely Google it…read moreand read about it very awesome place to hang out in the boat in the middle of New York Harbor

We got a Groupon for this place, which makes the price a lot more reasonable. They don't open until…read more1 pm on the weekends, and on Saturdays they don't even give guided tours. Instead, they give an "augmented reality" audio tour which is kind of hit or miss. The house was preserved for the historical significance of the Townsend family, one of which was a spy for George Washington. I didn't feel there was a ton of information on the family though. Pointing their phone at the different objects in a room turned on audio about them, but only a couple of rooms in the actual house were interactive. The rest didn't have signs, and one loan employee was around to answer questions at the end. The exhibit in the visitor center was nice though. I just don't think the AR experience was really up to replacing a person, both in amount of information and the uncanny valley, unnerving portraits. There is street parking and a nearby lot that are free on weekends. The gift shop is minimal. It was an okay spot to visit, but I would recommend coming on Sunday or whenever they offer actual tours to get a more thorough understanding of the house and the history of the people who lived here.

We went here on a winter weekend, and were fortunate to have the builsings to ourselves. The…read morehelpful staff took out modest admission fee and explained that they don't do tours on Saturdays but they do have tour devices using augmented reality. That means that when you walk through the buildings, you scan the cell phone device on important paintings and artifacts and they talk to you with further information about who or what they are. The small building that contains the entrance is packed with paintings, dioramas, documents and artifacts. Next you walk to the main house, built in the 1730's, and housing the Townsend family. At the time of the Revolutionary War, Samuel had to make room for a British colonel. In spite of the fact that he sympathised with the patriots, he maintained good relations with his "Guest." At the time of the war, the house had eight rooms. One of his sons was one of the leaders of the Culpepper Spy Ring, Placing the home on the National Registry of Historic Places. Each room was elegantly decorated, with the exception of the space for the enslaved housekeeper. In spite of the fact that we didn't get a formal tour, the staff member tagged along with us and kept up a spirited conversation - even giving us a bonus look at the Victorian wing which doubled the size of the structure. The house is said to be haunted, of course. Very highly recommended. The full set of photos can be found at https://www.flickr.com/photos/terryballard/albums/72177720323110655
