Ketcham Inn — Attraction in Town of Brookhaven

I would like to say at the outset of this review it will be long. First and foremost what a wonderful experience we had at the Ketcham Inn! My wife and I took our wedding photos within the Ketcham Inn and around the grounds, truly an excellent experience and the photos look splendid!! Bert was a pleasure to deal with to discuss our ideas and plans for the Inn, he went above and beyond our expectations. The gorgeous seasonal decorations were popular conversation piece, as well as the charming rustic feel of the Ketcham Inn. The temperature outside was 25 degrees, Bert had both of the fireplaces going to keep the inn at a cozy temperature. Truly, the members of both of our respective families were impressed with the rich history and atmosphere of the Ketcham Inn. Also, Bert provided refreshments and beverages during the photo session and the staff dressed in traditional 18th century outfits which was an enjoyable touch. Further, the staff was cooking the food in a traditional 17th century stove. In closing, if you are in need of an area to take wedding photos, have a private event, enjoy a private dinner with friends and family, want to learn about the rich history of the American Revolution and history of the eastern part of Long Island please meet Bert and visit the Ketcham Inn, truly a gem on Long Island! If you are in need of books and records please go to the Ketcham Inn.

The house might be to be visited with a tour guide ; we arrived, saw some people walk in and as the door was fully open, we hesitated for a moment, wondering if, as it was listed as a historic site, the custom was just to walk in. Unable to find any informations - or anyone inside to inform us, we just visited by ourself for half an hour, before meeting with people visiting, and asked to leave. Maybe some information panel near the entrance could be a plus, as we were quite sorry to have...
