Shoreham, New York: Tesla's Laboratory and Statue

Site of the behemoth Tesla Tower, from which Tesla planned to broadcast free power to everyone. It was blown up. Buildings remain, bronze statue in front, Tesla museum hopes to open.

The "abandoned" site is located right next to residences and a fire department. There are always lights on at night at the entrance and there will occasionally be a guard in a car or in the very weathered guard booth out front.

If you want to get on to the actual property I would advise going in (at night) from the Randall Rd section because most of the property is on a main highway with heavy traffic. All of the buildings remain (except the big tower) and most are in good shape. It is said to be abandoned but I was there recently and one of the old buildings had full lighting on inside. Truly a mystery. Given the history of Tesla and his experiments I'd say this site is a very cool thing to see!
