pspspspsp turn fandom i have some treats for you!!!

I had the opportunity to visit Setauket this past weekend and took the self-guided walking tour (4.6 miles - most cardio I’ve gotten in ages) and took some pictures from the township as well as the Three Village Historical Society! It was an absolutely amazing experience, and I’m so thrilled to share it with my fellow fans here on tumblr! Enjoy!!!

Photo explanations below cut :)

Image 1: "Site of Home - Abraham Woodhull" (Original) — The original signage put at the site of Abraham Woodhull’s home on Setauket. It has since been replaced with one that is in better quality in the original site, and this one is currently placed near the entrance of the Three Village Historical Society building.

Image 2: Patriot's Rock Information — Patriot’s Rock is located down the road from the Setauket Presbyterian Church, and acts as a landmark for the Battle of Setauket in 1777. The site also includes a historically accurate recreation of a camp that soldiers such as Caleb Brewster may have stayed in.

Image 3: Patriot's Rock Plaque — The placard placed on the Patriot’s Rock. Highlights the involvement of Caleb Brewster, Reverend Zachariah Greene, and Jonathon Dickerson in the Battle of Setauket (1777).

Image 4: Gravesite of Abraham Woodhull — The resting place of Abraham Woodhull, also known as Samuel Culper Sr. The gravesite was actually reconstructed using bricks from the remains of the Woodhull home, which had burned down in 1931. Rocks, coins, and momentos are left on the gravesite out of respect for Woodhull and his part in the American Revolution. I left him a coin, myself :)

Image 5: Setauket Presbyterian Church Sign, Culper Spy Ring Tour — A sign erected by the Long Island North Shore Heritage Area (LINSHA), promoting the Culper Spy Ring Tour, a self-led audio tour throughout historical locations in Setauket. The Setauket Presbyterian Church is the resting place of key figures such as Abraham Woodhull, Nathanial Brewster, and numerous descendants of Revolutionary War veterans.

Image 6: Site of Home - Abraham Woodhull (Reconstructed) — The signage erected at the site of Abraham Woodhull’s home and farm in Setauket. It was originally built by Richard Woodhull, Abraham’s father, in 1690. Since the fire that destroyed the home in 1931, other homes have been erected, and currently home numerous families.

Image 7: Gravesite of Anna Strong — The resting place of Culper Spy Anna Strong. Her gravesite is at St. George’s Manor Cemetery, and she is buried beside her husband, Captain Selah Strong. Rocks, coins, and momentos are left out of respect, and I left her a coin, as well :)

Image 8: Gravesite of Selah Strong — The resting place of Captain Selah Strong, husband to Anna Strong. Fun fact, he passed away on Independence Day of 1815!

Image 9: Abraham Woodhull Costume Worn by Jamie Bell in TURN — I was quite literally shaking when I took this picture. A costume worn by actor Jamie Bell from TURN: Washington’s Spies, donated by AMC to the Three Village Historical Society. I remember this costume from the scene where Setauket’s townspeople are hiding in the church following an impending attack from the Redcoats - you know, when Simcoe shot Caleb’s uncle.

Image 10: Abraham Woodhull Costume Plaque — Informational plaque about the donated costume from AMC. I lost my mind, I was so excited.

This man ended up being one of the most amusing characters in the entire show, unintentionally.

The way I think about “ I like my eggs warm” all the time, I’m not joking

Alright, guys! I got another awesome discovery to post (courtesy of my cousin...again)!

My cousin stayed at the Three Village Inn in Stony Brook. We actually drove past it in 2017 when I visited Setauket, but I never went inside. So my cousin just recently was staying there and sent me pics...the cottages are all named after members of the Culper Spy Ring!!!

She made sure to send me a pic of the Tallmadge cottages sign XD

But anyway, I thought this was too cute NOT to share. I want to stay here so badly! The pictures on Google of the place are beautiful! Have any of you fine Tumblr folk stayed here before?
