The Long Island Museum

"Fun with the Family"

Explore this nine-acre complex of three museums, as well as a blacksmith shop, a one-room schoolhouse, and an 1870 barn, to learn more about the art and history of Long Island.
 
The Melville Carriage Museum has nearly one hundred vehicles, including ornate European coaches, shiny fire engines, cheery omnibuses, and rare gypsy wagons.
 
The Art Museum’s collection of paintings depicts rural Islander life, as well as changing exhibits.
 
The Margaret Blackwell History Museum features a great decoy colection, but children will be drawn to the fifteen miniature furnished sixteenth- to twentieth-century period rooms. With advance resevations, older children and their families may attend a theatrical tea party hosted by historical characters at nearby Deepwells.
