Review:
There are two Hempsted Houses, both of which show off the area’s history and architecture. The 1678 Joshua Hempsted House is among the best-documented and oldest dwellings in New England. The 1759 National Hempsted House was built by stone by Acadian exiles. Both of these structures help show off the daily life of the centuries in which they were built. Visitors can admire the homes from the outside or go on an in-depth house tour, which includes viewing colonial artifacts. There is also a walking tour available that dives into the history of the neighborhood, including its rich African-American heritage.
