If you are planning a daytrip including the Oyster Bay Historical Society, check our page of Related Websites and the Oyster Bay, Long Island website for other local places of interest to visit, then check "Are We There Yet?", a marvelous source of fieldtrip information. One obvious suggestion: include the Raynham Hall Museum which is "just around the corner" from our headquarters.

  The Historical Society is a short walk from the Oyster Bay station of the Long Island Railroad (LIRR), which is near the intersection of Hamilton Ave and Spring St (see map in "By Automobile" below).

To plan a tour by train -- including the Oyster Bay Historical Society -- call (718) 990-7498.
