Guided tours. They dont let you do much on your own anymore. Theft has become a real big issue at LI's museums so none of them are taking any chances.

I would like to visit this place just for the history. Its been arould since the 1700's and its past has been well documented.....

I think it was on the Biography Channel yesterday. I watched most of the documentary and it went into the whole history of the house and family during the Revolutionary War. Very interesting indeed. If I see it is on again I will post a date and time. It was on one of their Haunted Houses shows. It was nice to see how Long Islanders played a part in the Revolution, particularly involving the whole Benedict Arnold and West Point angle.

Here is an ebook snippet from google. Not really about the show but interesting nonetheless.

And Benedict Arnold was the Hero of the Battle of Fort Ticondaroga. He was a decorated, ranking officer in the Continental Army but he felt overlooked. He got a better deal from the Brits. Lots and lots of history in that house.
