We are going places on this Road Trip: Close to Home, taking a look back at a vital piece of our history.

Let's explore the Carriage Museum, at the Long Island Museum in Stony Brook.

There are 110 antique vehicles in this museum that tell the story of transportation before the automobile. They even have an incredible display of how these carriages were built back in the late 1800s.

Not only are these vehicles fascinating to see up close and personal in this day and age, this museum also provides a great learning experience for younger generations.
