Although you'll be traveling back to the past during your visit, there are some 21st century rules to bear in mind:

​

• Animals are unpredictable. Please do not touch and feed the livestock or any wild animals.

• The village roads are gravel, and the buildings do not have ramps. 

• Our buildings are original and fragile. Strollers may be used on the village roads, but not in historic buildings.

• Smoking and alcohol is not permitted on the property (Alcohol is only allowed with a legal permit between the party and the County of Nassau).

• Old Bethpage is not a pet friendly facility, pets are not allowed on site. Service animals are the only exception.

• Please keep off of fences, walls, trees, and stay on the paths to avoid ticks in the tall grass.

• Wildflowers and crops are for all to enjoy, please do not pick.

• Costumes are not permitted for anyone over the age of 12.

• Realistic props are not permitted in the museum.

• Coolers are not allowed on the property.
