It's a hands on history lesson that will take you to colonial times - we're taking a tour of Raynham Hall Museum on this Road Trip: Close to Home.

The Oyster Bay home of George Washington's secret agent Robert Townsend is a piece of living history and a lesson on Long Island life in the 18th and 19th centuries.

First stop at the brand new education center - you'll see four portraits, the main characters who lived at the home, and you can use augmented reality to hear their stories.

You'll also learn about the lives of the enslaved people who lived there.

"It's very important to us that you get the full story and I think that's a great way to celebrate Black History Month," says Harriet Gerard Clark.

And just in time for Valentine's Day, don't miss seeing the first documented Valentine written there in 1779.

Next go inside the historic home, you can look around on your own or use the AR experience for a guided tour.

The rooms are set up to reflect what family life was like at that time
