In northern Nassau County, there's all these 100+-year-old mansions, on a gazillion acres.
Even though they are often owned by people that can afford the upkeep ("old money"), they tend to get sold or donated to the county or state.
There's a few great museums:

https://plantingfields.org
https://nassaumuseum.org
and a few in Suffolk, as well:

https://www.vanderbiltmuseum.org
They are a pretty big pain to keep up. There's also a couple that have been abandoned, because the owners couldn't give them away.
