Exclusive “Upstairs/Downstairs” Tours of Historic Coe Hall
Back By Popular Demand!
Join us for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how Coe Hall, a 65 room Tudor-Revival style mansion, was divided among the servants who ran the estate. This tour will enable you to see how these servants helped maintain the lavish lifestyle of the 1920s, which is such an important part of Long Island’s history. You will be able to tour the basement, including the coal storage, the wine cellar, and the refrigeration rooms which are normally not open to the public. You will also be able to see the third floor and view the servants’ bed and bathrooms. A special emphasis will be placed on the original documents produced by Mr. Coe and his servants about this era. Reservations are first come, first served and are limited to 15 persons, so call (516) 922-8676 and reserve your place today!
