Raynham Hall reveals life from the American Revolution in the 1770's, through Oyster Bay's affluent Victorian period in the 1870's, and the beginning of the Gold Coast.

Purchased by prominent community member, Samuel Townsend, the house was home to a total of three generations of this family. It is famous for housing the Queens Rangers, a Loyalist regiment commanded by Lt. Col. John Graves Simcoe, during the Revolution.

Added to the historic period room displays are stories of family haunts and the intrigue of General Washington's Culper Spy Ring. In fact, it was Robert Townsend (Culper Jr.) who gathered information leading to the capture of Major Andre and thwarted Benedict Arnold's plot to surrender West Point to the British.

The Museum is open to individuals and families, with special Programs and Workshops available that get children and parents involved in history and the arts. Special events and other activities are offered throughout the year, making Raynham Hall a great way to keep the family together, doing and learning.
