Long Island’s Sweet Hollow Road, which winds through West Hills and skirts Mount Misery is thought by many to be the paranormal center of the area. There’s nary an urban legend or myth on the island which doesn’t have a connection to the area, though upon closer examination they all seem to be without any foundation in reality. Instead, what you find is a few square miles of the most beautiful landscapes on Long Island. The history of the region actually rivals the myths in many cases. Poet Walt Whitman was born just over the hill, during the American Revolution when most of Long Island was firmly loyalist, the residents of West Hills and Sweet Hollow were fighting for the colonies, and there were frequent raids by the British on the population here, which were sometimes staunchly repelled. Later, Teddy Roosevelt could frequently be seen riding his horse to the Peace and Plenty Inn, just up the road for a bit of refreshment.

The Old House, located just past the public library off State Route 25 on the village green in Cutchogue in Suffolk County, Long Island, New York, was built in Southold in 1649 by John Budd, and moved to Cutchogue in 1660. It’s the oldest English-type house in New York State, and said to be one of the most superb examples of First Period architecture in the nation. The design of the Old House combines 17th century architectural features, such as sitting room paneling, leaded glass windows, and the massive fluted chimney. It was damaged by a hurricane in 1938, restored in 1940 and restored again in 1968. The house is open for tours each summer, as well as special events.
