About
Listed on the National Register of historic places, the Longwood Estate clearly is a Town of Brookhaven treasure. This land was the domain of the pre-eminent Smith family until 1968. In 1974, with development nipping at its flanks, the property was acquired by the town. The house is located at the corner of Smith Road and Longwood Road in Ridge. Click here for more information.
