I’m plotting a 3-4 day trip to the Theodore Roosevelt House (Sagamore Hill) this year. Thus far I have points of interest: - Hempstead House - Nassau County Museum of Art - Bailey Arboretum - Planting Fields Arboretum State Historic Park - **Sagamore Hill** National Historic Site - Vanderbilt Museum and Planetarium - Oheka Castle - Cradle of Aviation Museum ---

> [@What\_Exit](#): > > Cradle of Aviation Museum This is a great museum if you’re into aerospace. They have a lot of Grumman airplanes and many space artifacts. There is even a fully assembled lunar module, which is very impressive. You could also visit my friend Dave and his family nearby. But they are less of a tourist destination. 🙂 ---

Cradle of Aviation Museum looked interesting, the kind of museum I tend to enjoy. I figured that would be a good last place to visit before heading home. ---

I’ll check out American Airpower Museum. The Big Duck is not my type of thing and much further out than I was planning to go. As far as seeing Manhattan, I see it on every walk I take in town. I live on the Jersey Bayshore. But a possible place to go. Thank you. I like how close the Billy Joel one is to Sagamore Hill. Thank you. It looks like the Waterdrinker farm is much further East than I was planning to go to. Though I should look for some small breweries near Sagamore. ---
