The six Vanderbilt Cup Races held on Long Island from 1904 to 1910 were the greatest sporting events of their day, and the first international automobile road races held in the United States. The races had a far-reaching impact on the development of American automobiles and parkways. This site provides comprehensive information on the races, the Long Island Motor Parkway and current Long Island automotive events, car shows and news.

Awsome Video Howard, in George Washington’s Long Island diary from his 1790 tour of LI he stayed at a home belonging to an Onderdonk, Probably from that area and maybe in that location. Any indication of the actual home he stayed on the property ? Love them ol’ ghost stories !!

I really enjoyed the video. The presence of the 4 yr old girl was quite sad. In the past, it was common for people to pass on at such a young age, usually due to illness that people get presently. The medicines that we have today just didn’t exist back then. I hope the young girl that passed away has past family around her. It seems like the other presences just want to be acknowledged.
