Huntington's museum challenge

The Cold Spring Harbor Whaling Museum is one of the stops.

Are you up to the test? Huntington’s Historic Museum Challenge, tomorrow and Sunday, 11 a.m.-4 p.m., takes you on a trip to the town’s beginnings in 1653 with tours at eight area historic sites. These include the Henry Lloyd Manor House, birthplace of the first African-American poet published in the United States, and the Huntington Lighthouse. Visit all eight this weekend and earn a year’s membership in each of the participating historical groups ($250 value) plus a chance at a prize.

Several local restaurants are offering discounts for lunch breaks. Find out where to buy tour maps ($5) and more at museumchallenge.org or call 631-351-3244.
