Marshall Field House

Great place to relax

Caumsett is a beautiful place. Fabulous place to walk, run or ride a bike. The walled garden near the parking lot is a gem. Memo to NYS Parks: please place more benches behind the mansion so more people can sit and enjoy the great view of LI Sound.

Go for the tour, only $10. Lots of history, many rooms, including servant quarters, lots to see. Also, it's a great walk to the beach and to do some hiking. Make sure to bring: bug spray, sun screen, a hat, and something to drink!

The Marshall Field House is located in Cumasett State Park. It is a great place to walk, hike, bicycle and fish. There is a private horse stable and bridal paths. There are restrooms available. It is an outdoor paradise within the New York Metropolitan area. It is one of the few places on Long Island where you can get away from automobile sounds.
There is an extensive hiking trail network. Spend a few hours or spend a day. The Marshall Field House is located within the park but is not open to the public. Part of the Greatest Show was filmed there last year. There are great views from the rear of the mansion. I take a star off since there is not a concession stand for food and drinks. However Huntington is a short drive and has a host of eateries. During the season there is an $8.00 parking fee or use an Empire Pass. Seniors are free Monday to Friday with ID.

I love caumsette. It's one of my happy places. If you get the chance definitely go. It's great for a walk or bike ride or picknic.
