The Long Island Maritime Museum was founded in 1966 on the waterfront grounds of the former Meadowedge estate in West Sayville. Charged with the mission of preserving Long Island's maritime history and heritage for educational purposes, the museum has been welcoming visitors from all over the world for over 50 years.
The Bayard Cutting Arboretum is a New York State park that was donated to the Long Island State Park Region. The intent of the donation was “to provide an oasis of beauty and quiet for the pleasure, rest and refreshment of those who delight in outdoor beauty; and to bring about a greater appreciation and understanding of the value and importance of informal planting.”
