Rock Hall Museum
Town: Lawrence
Rock Hall Museum is the one and only museum located in the Five Towns. You could say it has a monopoly on the place.
It is a registered historic place. It is one of the finest pre-war homes still standing on Long Island. It was built in 1767 for the Martin and Hewlett families. The Hewlett family donated the residence to the town as a historic museum and learning center for future generations. Hewlett, is also one of the Five Towns, it was named after the Hewlett family. Their actual residence, Rock Hall is located in Lawrence. You are probably asking yourself why? This is because their property was so great that it actually encompassed the entire Five Towns as it is today.
The Museum is located at 199 Broadway, in Lawrence. Not to worry, admission is free, you do not even need to bring your Macaulay Cultural Passport!
