Discover the rich and diverse heritage of Suffolk County Long Island.

From Native American culture to historic homes dating back to the 1600s take a step way back in time. Explore early seafaring history at maritime and whaling museums, visit a railroad museum, or come see one of the largest collections of horse-drawn carriages in the country.

Aviation buffs will want to see the impressive collection of operational World War II aircraft at an aviation museum and hangar, or to explore the mansions and castles of former captains of industry.

Climb to the top of a lighthouse commissioned by George Washington, or follow in the path of the Revolutionary War spy trail. There's a lot to explore in Suffolk County.
