Seely/Wright House

The Seely/Wright House, built in 1830 in Oyster Bay, New York, is a historic landmark that offers a glimpse into the area's rich history. Originally constructed for Dr. Ebenezer Seely and his wife Phebe Townsend, the house is linked to notable figures such as President Martin Van Buren, who is rumored to have been entertained here. Phebe, a descendant of a prominent local family, lived in the house for only 11 years before her passing. The house is now part of the Oyster Bay History Walk, an audio tour that highlights significant sites in the area, making it a must-visit for tourists and researchers interested in local history and heritage.
