SERVPRO Helps Setauket Attractions with Flood Damage
Setauket is a charming census-designated place on Long Island. The hamlet is an idyllic spot that features a village green, with a post office, a church, and a library clustered around it. Because Setauket is a primarily residential area, it makes a lovely base for exploring Long Island while enjoying some peace and quiet.
Settlers first purchased the Setauket area in 1655, and its long history is still visible today, especially in the charmingly-named Bethel-Christian Avenue-Laurel Hill Historical District. It is registered as an endangered historic site, and there are many culturally significant places in the district:
- The Eato House belonged to the Reverend David Eato, one of Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church's first pastors. He and his wife, Mary, a freed slave, lived in the house for many years.
- Patriots Rock is famous as the site where Colonel Webb fired his cannons during the Revolutionary War.
- The Hawkins Homestead is a historic house that dates back to 1660.
