You know, that's the problem. They want Tesla's life and legacy to be known -- you don't do that in the middle of nowhere. Much as I would love to go visit this myself, it's dooming it to the geeks, largely.
It's not exactly in the middle of nowhere. It has Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National Laboratory. It has half a dozen airports, more than 400K inhabitants, and it's the largest town (by area) in the entire state.
