Old Bethpage Village Restoration
The Old Bethpage Village Restoration is a 209-acre (0.85 km2) recreated living museum village in Old Bethpage, New York. The village opened in 1970 with dozens of historic structures that had been saved from demolition by Nassau County. Costumed actors provide demonstrations of 19th-century life. It is the site of the annual Long Island Fair. The village came into existence in 1963, when Nassau County acquired the Powell property, a 165-acre (0.67 km2) farm located on the Nassau-Suffolk border. According to notes written on the county's 1959 master plan, the site originally was planned to become the Nassau County Zoo. The village served as the primary filming location for the exteriors of both Dickinson houses, the Evergreens and the Homestead, and used various building in the village for the Apple TV+ series Dickinson starring Hailee Steinfeld as Emily Dickinson.
