  A lot of stuff packed in a small package. Great collection of rock specimens and fossils.

  Its a local gem (pun intended). It has a little something for everyone. If geology is your thing the museum has one of the largest collections of rocks and minerals on the island. If paleontology is your thing there is an amazing variety of specimens, including some rarities. If biology interests you the collection of lepidoptera is perfect. Last but not least the local history of Hicksville and Levittown are on display.

  The museum is located inside a historical Courthouse in Hicksville NY. It is small but packed with many fascinating artifacts. I was a bit disappointed to discover that some of the bigger artifacts were in fact reproductions. The walls are lined with beautiful wooden and glass showcases with plenty of lighting. Every artifact has its own information card naming the item and where it came from. It also retained , as part of the old courthouse, one of the actual jailcells that were used during its time. The museum curator and his assistant are chock full of information. Maybe too much information. They walked us around and gave detailed information on many of the bigger points of interest. However they monopolized our visit and continued to talk long after it seemed acceptable for them to do so. I would have prefered a brief overview and then being allowed to wander at our leisure. All in all if you can see yourself past that there are some really nice things to see here.

  What a wonderful little museum! Was looking for something in the area to kill a couple of hours and so glad we went and checked this place out--wish we had more time! There is SO MUCH to see here and it was so well organized and displayed. We were also given a wonderful tour that was so informative and interesting. I can't wait to come back with my new 'real' camera to take some photos of all of the beautiful rocks, crystals and minerals! (Spur of the moment cellphone pics just won't cut it for me-- doesn't do their beauty justice lol!) Thank you again for a wonderful experience!

  Took my nephew for a fossil event. It was an up close and hands on experience about making a fossil copy from a cast. Then photos and fossils from a exploration we’re shown. It was very interesting and the presenter had such knowledge and passion. It was a great time. As for the museum, there are a lot of interesting pieces packed into a somewhat small but very comfortable space.
