"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."
"This is a really great little museum that was really more interesting than I expected it to be. It's well balanced with exhibits interesting for both adults and children as well. Well worth checking out if you're nearby. Easy to spend an hour or two there."
"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."
