William Floyd Estate

We hadnt been in 2 years but came back to walk the grounds. Looks like the paths and fields are no longer being maintained. What a disappointment. Tree debris both large and small littered the paths.When path grass is up to your knees its not worth the tick risk. What were once manicured open fields are now completely overgrown. Even though we were the first to walk the paths that morning (Sep 27th) there was no wildlife to be found. Normally early entry here (in the past) youd see herds of deer in the open fields and running across multiple paths. : (

Loved the history of the 25 room house, walking through it is like going back in time. Each room is so unique and preserved perfectly with the priceless belongings as they were left. Standing in a +250 year old house of one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence is a very humbling and special experience. Tour was free and took only an hour.

My daughters and I had a lovely guided tour. Wonderful little trip for us.

An enjoyable tour!

Well preserved home over 300 years old, great for and property and free. It is off the beaten path but not to far.

Beautiful grounds and beautiful house. Very helpful rangers, clean bathrooms, good parking. Make sure you bring bug repellent, lots of ticks and deer around. NOTE: Do not use the pin on Google maps to navigate here! It will take you to a locked entrance. Enter: 245 Park Dr, Mastic Beach NY 11951 into your GPS or map application instead.

Nice to see the Animals still have a safe place to live

Great place to learn about our local history but the trails need serious upkeep.

This property is an excellent example of how extensive Long Islands heritage is.

The William Floyd Estate was a perfect afternoon experience my wife, newborn and myself. The National Park Ranger Guide was wonderful. I honestly am blanking on her name mainly because everything she had to say was about the Floyd Estate and family. She had been there since 79 and had so many interesting stories about the house and the estate. Great time spent on some beautiful land. Fantastic and surreal view of the ocean from the house too.NOTE: When just clicking Directions on your phone it will take you to the wrong place. Make sure you click on the actual entrance address.

Great place. Tour is real nice. Historic house. Grounds are well maintained. Bird watching

Great tour of American History. The house is preserved as it was left (for the most part) by the last owner. Bring bug spray though, the ticks are everywhere.

It is really beautiful site for walking with your family and you can learn part of history of USA. I am stronglyrecommended.

Free 1 hr 45 min tour of the 25 room home (length varies by guide) by a very knowledgeable guide named Denise. Covered everything from Revolutionary War era to 1960s when the house was donated. Tons of well-preserved artifacts. Graveyard and nature trails on the estate as well.

We just drove all the way to the William Floyd Estates. The web site says theyre OPEN. Guess what theyre NOT. Not sure why their website says theyre open til 5:00pm today? When theyre not? Someone should update it!!!

Love the fascinating history that Ive learned from my visit to the estates!

Signer of the declaration of independence. Very interesting guided tour. Free. Nice natural grounds. Open only part of the year.House is a history in itself.

A nice place for a historical walk with family or friends. A guided tour can be arranged to see the house and the property. Open on weekends starting Fridays. Be prepared for ticks and mosquitos. Lots of them!

Fascinating and historic house & grounds. The Rangers gave a very good and educational tour. This was my 2nd time visiting.

Amazing place to learn history about mastic beach

The tour guides were very knowledgeable and house was amazing ! You can only think but how did they really back then. A very interesting house.

WARNING: DO NOT GO HERE AT THIS TIME. The park is infested with ticks. Got out of my vehicle, sat on a park bench in the parking lot, and ended up with several ticks on my body. I never ventured out of the parking lot. When I alerted others in the park of the situation, they checked and found ticks on their bodies as well. The park needs to be shut down until further notice.

Of the first family to settle on Strong Island at this estate. Take a tour and learn about your Long Island roots no matter where youre from in Suffolk County.

Interesting tours given by the staff

Great little hidden Gem in the middle of Mastic Beach. The guides were excellent and place was rich in History from the the 1700s to the 1960s. Worth a trip especially since William Flord was a signer of the Declaration of Independence.

Unfortunately, the days that this place is open is incorrect. It is closed until May.

We went during the very end of the off season and had a private tour throughout the house. Learned a ton of cool stuff and saw a ton of cool things. Highly recommend!

Love the history, didnt know about it till my grandson brought home the flyer from school.

Beautiful 300 year old house. Need some restauration .

Very educational n there having an event on da 7th

We only got to seeThe grounds and outbuildings, it was well kept, and interesting

Should 100% go. Beautiful place and you can learn so much!
