Hewlett responded to the rising popularity of summer tourism in the Rockaway area during the 19th Century, and remodeled Rock Hall and opened its doors to summer guests as early as 1830. Thomas Hewlett's son, James Augustus was a successful importer of tea, coffee and sugar in New York City, and made his summer home at Rock Hall after 1868. James enlarged the house with a service wing around 1881. The museum is located at 199 Broadway, Lawrence, New York. Monday - Sat.
