👍👍 Well above the average for a small town historical society museum, the Pevahouse collection of period photographs, music, and artifacts provide insights into rural Southern culture as it was in transition. Small but choice.

Updike Farmstead

Battery Potter

Historical place

👍👍 I lived on Sandy Hook from the time I was 9 years old until I was 13. It was the best place to live. What's not to love?? 2 blocks from the beach, cool buildings to explore, which brought the added excitement of trying not to get caught inside. The Coast Guard station used to host cheap screenings...

Battery Weed

Historical place

👍👍 Very interesting place. I wish they were open through the regular business hours. Although the view around is beautiful any time of the day the interior looks pretty abandoned.

Oakeside Bloomfield Cultural Center

Historical place

👍 The Oakeside Mansion in Bloomfield is a stunning venue if you love dramatic backdrops, victorian aesthetics, and dream of living in the past.
