Meadow Croft Estate of John Ellis Roosevelt, 200 Middle Rd Sayville Tours Sat. & Sun. 2-4pm June - October

Meadow Croft House Tours open Sat. & Sun. 2-4pm June - October
The John Ellis Roosevelt Home known as Meadow Croft located at 200 Middle road in Sayville.
John Ellis Roosevelt and his family escaped the summer heat of the city for the cooling breezes of Long Island. The original house was built in 1867, purchased by the Roosevelt's in 1890 and expanded in the colonial Revival style by noted architect, Isaac Green Jr. It was owned by the Roosevelt's for nearly a century. By the early 1980's, the house had fallen into disrepair and was threatened with being lost. Bayport Heritage Association came to its rescue, approaching the county and creating a partnership. Today the home is open to the public for tours.
During the tour new exhibits include works from local artists, the auto Barn and the long awaited Carriage house.
Pack a picnic lunch, take a tour, than go back and do some wine tasting at Loughlin Vineyards.
Hope to see you there.
