touring Huntington
Southeast Hills
The
rolling green hills of the southern suburbs of the city is full
of cool, tree-lined and winding streets with a relaxing presence
that can be felt while just gazing around. The area is generally
a residential area with the Huntington Museum of Art resting
on top of the hill on McCoy Road. The homes are the larger more
luxurious homes. Chateaus, villas and a mansion or two may be
glimpsed beyond their driveways or in the background as you
drive along. There are more modest homes available in the area
also for the smaller or mid-sized families.
The
Huntington Museum of Art always has something planned
or "happening." The museum is the finest in the State and provides
exhibits from all of the arts from all over the World. On your
tour you will see paintings, sculptures glass, furniture, jewelry,
rugs, quilts, silver & other metal-works, and literature
as well as other major items. The museum also includes a conservatory,
library, cafe, music series, film series, gift shop, art classes
and workshops for children and adults.(Right Photo: Huntington
