Raynham Hall Museum

Raynham Hall in Oyster Bay was the home of the Townsend family and was used during the Revolution as headquarters by British officers, including Lieutenant Colonel John Simcoe. It is a museum and one of Long Island's best-known haunted houses, with stories of up to five ghosts, among them Sally Townsend, a young woman said to have been courted by a British officer, a British major who was hanged as a spy, and a child. The museum is open for tours year-round.
