Top 10 To-Dos on a Sunny LI Afternoon
It is finally getting GORGEOUS outside, and there is no need to travel to find some wonderful treasures that Nassau has to offer. Here is Nassau Happening’s guide to the top 10 spots to visit this spring and summer.
1. Old Bethpage Village Restoration-Visit a living history museum, where a mid-19th century Long Island rural village is re-created for you. The general store, inn, farm, blacksmith shop, school, and villager’s houses (to name only a few) are kept so that visitors get a true sense of what it was like to live on LI long ago. Staff dress the part, too, and tell stories of what their typical day would have been like. There is a lot of walking, though, so wear sneakers! Kids love the farm especially, where they keep live animals, but adults will enjoy the tales of long ago just as much. (Insider tip: Don’t miss their Civil War re-enactment and Old-Time Baseball Games both taking place in July! See our community calendar for dates and times.)
1303 Round Swamp Road, Plainview
516-572-8400
Open Wednesday-Saturday, 10-4 and Sunday 11-5
