If you’re looking for something fun and enjoyable to do this summer, the Town of Oyster Bay has a variety of places of interest ranging from historical sites to museums to preserves right at your doorstep.

If you’re looking for some great places to take your family this summer, you don’t have to travel far from home.  A Town brochure entitled Visit the Town of Oyster Bay gives a brief overview of 15 museums, preserves and historic sites right in our own Town. A Guide to Historical Places of Interest in the Town of Oyster Bay focuses on sites with links to our Town’s diverse history, from Sagamore Hill, the home of President Theodore Roosevelt, to the Northrop Grumman History Center, which houses a collection of memorabilia and exhibits recalling the historic accomplishments of Grumman in aerospace and defense, including the building of the Lunar Module, the first spacecraft to land on the moon. With these brochures in hand, you can plan some fun and educational outings that can easily be made in a day.

Any resident or organization interested in obtaining these free brochures can pick them up at Town Halls North (Oyster Bay) and South (Massapequa), the Department of Public Works (Syosset) and at major park facilities, or call or write to the Town of Oyster Bay Public Information Office, Town Hall East, 54 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay, N.Y. 11771 (624-6380). Copies can also be downloaded from the Town’s Web site, www.oysterbaytown.com.
