Guide Review - Long Island Museum of American Art, History and Carriages

The Long Island Museum of American Art, History and Carriages is located on nine acres in historic Stony Brook Village. There are three separate museums, all worth visiting. You may have to make a return trip to get to all three. The huge collection of carriages is facinating and we ended up spending a lot of time there -- much more than we expected to.
