==Landmarks== [[File:Comac Church.jpg|thumb|right|Comac Church]] Commack is home to the oldest [[Methodism|Methodist Church]] building in New York state, the [[Commack Methodist Church and Cemetery|Commack Methodist Church]], built in 1789 as the Comac Church. It is listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] and is one of the oldest buildings in Commack. The [[American Basketball Association]]'s [[New York Nets]], later the New Jersey Nets, and then the Brooklyn Nets, played their second season (1968β69) at the [[Long Island Arena]] in Commack. Musician [[Peter Frampton]] recorded some tracks for the album ''[[Frampton Comes Alive!]]'' during a concert at the arena. The [[Eastern Hockey League]]'s [[Long Island Ducks (ice hockey)|Long Island Ducks]] also played there. The arena, demolished in 1996, became the site of a [[shopping center]]. The [[National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame and Museum]] is located in the Suffolk Y Jewish Community Center in Commack.

Whitney. The property was sold to the Brooklyn Baptist Young Peoples Union in 1915 and became a fresh air home, or camp, named Sunshine Acres. The house was located on Townline Road just north of the Methodist Church and served as the main building for the camp. The dorms, dining hall, and chapel were on top of the hill across the fields. Commack Volunteer Ambulance Corps celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2016. Harned Brothers Sawmill was built in the 1840s and has been run by the Harned family since the [[Great Depression]].
