Old brick, reclaimed 150-year-old wood, and authentic lighting fixtures from the 1940’s adorn the walls of CCS. Vintage guitars, hotel signs, and many other cultural artifacts are also on display. Our goal was to build an extraordinary venue that was as authentic as the times they represent. Although we do have our favorites, it is no secret that we are lovers of all vintage automobiles. American Muscle cars, Ferrari, Porsche, BMW, Packard, and more circulate through our display area throughout the year.

The Vanderbilt Museum is a natural-history museum, historic mansion, planetarium and park located on the 43-acre summer estate of railroad heir and global explorer William K. Vanderbilt II (1878-1944). The estate, Eagle’s Nest, is an excellent example of the storied Long Island Gold Coast era, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Vanderbilt is engaged in education, collections, and programming. The state-of-the-art Charles and Helen Reichert Planetarium is a popular year-round venue for education, live music, and entertainment, as well as for educational programming for schools. Plans for 2016 include opening the Under the Stars Café in the Planetarium, where a family can have a relaxing lunch or a couple can enjoy wine and cheese to enhance an evening visit. In addition, the Vanderbilt Gift Shop sells an intriguing variety of space and science-related gift items, books and toys for all ages. The Vanderbilt, opened to the public in 1950, just celebrated its 65th anniversary.

Some sixty five years ago, the current home of the American Airpower Museum at Republic Airport was a crucial part of the "Arsenal of Democracy". Home to Republic Aviation, the complex produced over 9,000 P-47 Thunderbolts in Farmingdale. The "Jug", as it was called because of its robust assembly line construction,went on to defeat the best fighter pilots the German Luftwaffe could muster. Today, no American aviation museum with a squadron of operational World War II air crafts has a more appropriate setting for its flight operations. Taxing to the very runways and hangars that dispatched Thunderbolts to war, vintage air crafts recreate those turbulent years and allow the public to watch these planes in their natural environment - the air. This exciting effort to keep our history alive is made possible through state grants, corporate underwriting, personal philanthropy and gifts from people like you.
