I've got ancestors on L.I. since the 1600s, yet I've never been to Long Island, somehow. My ancestors were keepers of the Plum Island light in the more recent history, for 43 years ending in 1902. I've seen it from the Connecticut shore and know it's visible from the Cross Island Ferry.

Maybe in a couple of years. It's on my bucket list, now that I'm 3,000 miles away.
