Education Program Details

Why did General Washington create the Culper Spy Ring? Bring your students on a journey to the Brewster House Inn & Tavern to find out.  This authentic historic site (c. 1665)  was where neighbors gathered to share news, and where British soldiers ate and slept during their occupation of Long Island in the midst of the American Revolution. 

This living history experience is set in 1777, after the Battle of Long Island and the death of Nathan Hale. Students will meet Rebecca Brewster, who is completely unaware that her neighbors have just begun to spy as members of the Culper Spy Ring!  During their conversation with Rebecca,  students will learn about life under British occupation. In a group activity, students will discover how the secret spy ring operated and will speculate on why it was so successful. Then, students will be put to the test and become spies themselves – searching around the Brewster House for a secret message! 

We support NY State and Common Core Standard learning.  Students use artifacts, primary sources and secondary documents, as well as participate in an exchange of ideas, critical thinking and peer collaboration.

What made a Doctor in the year 1800? How is medicine different today? How will this change medicine for the future?

Students will create their own answers to these questions as they explore the world of Doctor Samuel Thompson. Students will examine the complex  life Thompson lived being both a doctor and a farmer, as well as a patriot and a slave owner – by becoming his apprentices!

From inside of his 18th century home, students will discover the origins of American medicine and examine its progression into the 21st century. Students will learn about the viruses that Thompson dealt with daily and diagnose their classmates using primary documents. Then, using this diagnosis, students will create their own pills, grinding herbs using mortars and pestles just like a doctor would have at that time. They will then be challenged by a real-life healthcare professional to conduct a patient-interview to diagnose a mysterious 21st century illness! Students are given the opportunity to ask their own questions about medicine, disease and illness, and are encouraged to engage in a discussion with a medical professional about the future of the medical field.

About the Property

Built in 1665 and known as the oldest house in the Town of Brookhaven, the Brewster House, was home to six generations of Brewsters.  The house has transformed over the centuries from the one-room cottage to its present saltbox structure.  During the American Revolution, Joseph Brewster operated the house as a tavern and general store, entertaining British troops inside.  American Patriot Caleb Brewster, cousin of Joseph Brewster and presumably a frequent visitor to the house, was a member of George Washington’s Culper Spy Ring during the Revolutionary War.

About the Program

The Taste of the Tavern program at the Brewster House allows a group to not only explore the oldest house in the town of Brookhaven, but learn about the way that colonial long islanders lived under British rule during the American Revolution. The history of the Culper Spy Ring is brought to life with an interactive and engaging escape room. In this escape room, you will discover for yourself where Joseph Brewster’s loyalties lied – to the British who controlled his family’s welfare or the patriots who promised freedom.  After the escape room, guests will experience an authentic colonial bite to eat and tea or cider to drink in the original tavern room (circa 1740).

The Brewster House is listed on the New York State and National Register of Historic Places.

Duration: 1.5
Adult Fee: For groups of 20 or less, $12 per person. For groups of 20 or more – the 20th person and so on, $10 per person.

About the Property

The Stony Brook Grist Mill, Long Island’s most completely equipped working mill, is listed on the National and New York State Register of Historic Places.

During the 1800s, a vineyard was planted on the island in the Mill Pond. Catawba grapes were pressed and fermented in the Stony Brook Grist Mill, bottled in Brooklyn and sold at a nearby tavern.  In earlier times, the mill was the center of community life. People exchanged news and gossip as they waited for the miller to grind their grain. In the 19th century a miller by the name of Alois Kopriva who emigrated from Poland, played the violin and entertained his guests with gypsy music. Kopriva was also an advocate for women’s right to vote. As recently as the 1950’s, farmers still brought their wheat and corn to be ground at the mill. Miller Schaefer ground natural wheat at the mill and shipped his “health food” to customers in 42 states.

About the Program

The adult program at the Stony Brook Grist Mill invites its guests to learn about the inner workings of a mill and trace the evolution of industry in America from the early 18th century to today. Visitors will hear about the owners and workers of the mill and how it has developed over 320 years. After the program, the Country Store will be open for your shopping pleasure.
