What to do and see in Long Island, Long Island: The Best Cemeteries

Reviewed By lou1776 - Long Island, United States

If you're not a member of this congregation and you're looking to come here, more than likely you've watched Turn: Washington's Spies on AMC. This church plays a huge role in the first season of the show, while the history gets a bit turned around. Visiting this place is special, as it is the final resting place of Abraham Woodhull, one of the key members of the Culper Spy Ring and various other of Long Island's first families. The battle of Setauket took place just across the street on the Village Green, and the Caroline church across the way from there still holds bullets from the battle. The whole setting takes you back in time. For fans, its a must visit location. The Three Village Historical Society is another great spot to learn more about the events of the Culper Ring, but my visit there proved more fun for kids than adults. Fans can also visit the final resting place of Anna Smith Strong and her husband Selah by continuing beyond the church up Strong's Neck Road to Dyke Road. Follow that beyond the water up to Cemetery Ln. You'll pass a historical marker where the Woodhull's home stood. There is no parking lot there, but there is a small patch of grass in front of the locked fence. Then there is a gate to walk through to Saint George's Manor Cemetery. There used to be a sign there however it has since disappeared.
