Old Bethpage Village Restoration - An 1880 Halloween To Remember

One of my favorite places on Long Island is the Old Bethpage Village Restoration.  The minute you park your car, you find yourself in a time warp.  You've left the 21st century behind for the charm and quietude of a country village in the mid 1800s.  This recreated typical farming community of its time sits on 209 pristine acres.   With 51 historic buildings and seven reconstructions it offers a realistic representation of life in a rural setting at the time.

If you're looking for a different way to celebrate Halloween, why not get in your car and bring the family to the village to experience an 1880 Halloween.

• Place:  Old Bethpage Village Restoration, 1303 Round Swamp Road, Old Bethpage (off exit 48 of the Long Island Expressway)
• Dates:  October 23-24 and October 30-31, 2010
• Hours:  11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• Phone:  516-572-8400

You'll be regaled by ghost stories and tales by the local grave digger.  Take a ghost walk, touring haunted houses along the way, enjoy an old fashioned monster hunt, or any of the many other family friendly activities.  It will definitely be a Halloween to remember.
