"This museum seems little, but the history and information packed in there is incredible. I have been here a few times for programs and meetings (there is a room if you need a place to meet) and it's such a cute little place that I always stop by with out of town guests to give them a flavor of the history of our area. It's best to set aside 1-2 hours for a visit, depending on if you have little ones, or want to read all of the historical information."
"What a Long Island treasure! Small museum that is well put together. Very interactive for young visitors and fascinating history for all. A must see with a very economical admission."
