Amazing Staten Island history, well maintained and staff is great. The grounds are great to relax and look out at the water with the park next door. Really peaceful place. They also have jazz festivals here and other events to keep you busy throughout the year.

A beautiful house located right on the water, there is a big natural garden to walk around. It's a very nice low key place where some people come for a picnic.

Fabulous small museum commerating the pioneering photographer Alice Austen. It's also a national designated site for LGBTQ+ history. Alice Austen lived here before being evicted in 1945. She got discovered just before her death in 1952. Beautiful exhibits and nice contemporary art space. The house itself is a Victorian marvel with fantastic views of NY Bay and Manhattan. Super knowledgeable and friendly staff.
